Comprehensive Pediatric & Adolescent Oncology—Hope, Healing, and Lifelong Survivorship.
Multidisciplinary, family-centered cancer care for children and young adults—leveraging precision medicine and cutting-edge therapies.
Pediatric Oncology provides end-to-end cancer care: rapid diagnostics (flow cytometry, molecular genetics, MRD monitoring), protocol-driven chemotherapy, precision radiotherapy, risk-adapted surgery, stem-cell transplant, CAR-T and other cellular therapies, comprehensive supportive care, and long-term survivorship clinics. Multidisciplinary tumor boards (leukemia/lymphoma, neuro-oncology, sarcoma, solid tumor) meet weekly to craft individualized plans that also address growth, neuro-cognition, fertility, and psychosocial well-being.
