Pediatric Cancers
Each year, more than 15,000 children in the U.S. are diagnosed with cancer. Talking to your child about their cancer diagnosis can be daunting. But at City of Hope, your child will be cared for by a dedicated team of world-class professionals specially trained in pediatric cancers.
Pediatric oncologists, hematologists, surgeons, radiation therapists, pathologists and others work together to develop targeted and effective treatment plans, while professionals in psychology, social work, physical therapy, occupational therapy, recreational therapy, music therapy and school reintegration provide support to patients and their families.
City of Hope specializes in the treatment of childhood cancers and blood disorders. With the ever-increasing number of childhood cancer survivors, we also emphasize long-term survivorship, providing continued surveillance to monitor and proactively address the long-term effects of childhood cancer.
At City of Hope, we take the advances made by researchers in our laboratories and turn them into lifesaving therapies as quickly as possible. Many of these new therapies are not always available elsewhere.
When you come to City of Hope, you automatically gain access to an unparalleled array of support services to help you and your loved ones take each step during and after pediatric cancer treatment.
