To have the best chance at recovery, doctors say it's paramount that seriously ill patients not have their treatment disrupted. But in a war zone, nothing is guaranteed.
. Some are dealing not only with the trauma of war but also with serious health conditions, like cancer.
Dr. Radek Chaber, the head of Pediatric Oncology and Hematology at the Medical University in Rzeszow, about an hour from the Ukrainian border, told CBS News they are treating patients from Ukraine that have serious conditions like cancer and hematological diseases. So far, 28 countries and more than 201 clinics across the world are offering support for young patients.
"These children from Ukraine could, might not be treated, not be cured, without treatment outside Ukraine. And probably the big part of them would die, probably," Chaber told CBS News' Christina Ruffini.
