Our Cancer and Blood Disorders Center consistently ranks in the top 5 to 8 percent globally in patient enrollments for the Children’s Oncology Group (COG), the world’s largest organization focused on childhood and adolescent cancer research.

Our dedicated team conducts a wide range of treatments, from chemotherapy and immune suppressant medication to laser therapy, blood transfusions, bone marrow aspiration and biopsies, lumbar punctures, chemotherapy administration in the cerebrospinal fluid, and radiation.

Our outpatient unit houses treatment rooms, an infusion center, and playroom, all designed for family centered care. Among our patients, approximately 45% are diagnosed with leukemia and lymphoma, while the rest include solid tumor, neuro-oncology, histiocytosis, and vascular malformation cases.

With an impressive 85% survival rate, we offer an exceptional Childhood Cancer Survivorship Program for patients completing treatment. This program focuses on easing the transition back to life before cancer and addressing potential long-term side effects of treatment, both physical and emotional.
