Our single focus is caring for young patients and survivors of all types of childhood cancers and related diseases. Patients and families always come first—each treatment decision is made by group consensus and takes into consideration the patient and family’s medical, physical and psychological needs.

For patients with complex or relapsed conditions, we offer innovative clinical trials unavailable at many other centers. Findings from our clinical research program continually advance the treatment of childhood conditions in the following areas:

  • Hematologic Malignancy
  • Solid Tumors
  • Neuro-Oncology
  • Stem Cell Transplantation
  • Non-Malignant Hematology
  • Palliative Care
  • Radiation Oncology
  • Survivorship

Dana-Farber/Children’s Hospital Cancer Care is also deeply committed to providing long-term care to the growing population of childhood cancer survivors. We hold multiple survivor clinics to survivors address any late-effects or long-term health concerns resulting from their original diagnosis or treatment.
