Childhood Cancers and Blood Diseases We Treat

Hearing that your child has cancer or a blood disease will undoubtedly bring up many questions, thoughts, and emotions. We have decades of experience treating children, adolescents, and young adults with all types of cancer and blood diseases, and we’re here to help develop the right treatment plan for your child, and ensure you feel confident in their care.

Childhood cancers we treat

Our pediatric oncologists will work with your family to find the best treatment for your child’s cancer, from proven treatments to promising clinical trials.

We treat all types of pediatric cancer, including:

• Bone tumors and soft tissue sarcoma.
• Brain tumors.
• Leukemia.
• Lymphoma.
• Neuroblastoma.
• Rare tumors.
  • Germ cell tumors.
  • Hepatoblastoma and hepatocellular carcinoma.
  • Retinoblastoma.

We also diagnose and treat children with cancer predisposition syndromes—when a child has a higher risk of developing cancer because of his or her genes.

Blood diseases we treat

We specialize in treating pediatric blood disorders from all angles, bringing together a team of experts to help children live their fullest life.

We treat a wide variety of blood disorders, including:

• Langerhans cell histiocytosis and other histiocytoses.

Immune and genetic disorders we treat

Stem cell transplantation and gene therapy are promising treatment options for several immune and genetic diseases. Our doctors and researchers are developing ways to make stem cell transplantation safer and available to more patients, and they are also working to target diseases on a genetic level.

Some of the immune and genetic disorders we specialize in treating with stem cell transplantation or gene therapy include:

• Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID).
• Wiskott Aldrich syndrome.
• IPEX syndrome.
• Hyper IgM syndrome.
