Our pediatric cancer treatment programs
We offer an unrivaled breadth of treatment options for children and young adults with cancer and blood disorders — from standard protocols and advanced therapies to clinical trials. Our patients receive truly comprehensive care thanks to our vast subspecialty resources, which include neurologists, orthopedists, diagnostic imaging specialists and pathologists.
We're here to guide your child and family every step of the way: through diagnosis, treatment and survivorship.
Our pediatric cancer treatment programs and services include:
Blood Disorders Center
Our Blood Disorders Center provides comprehensive services in diagnosis, treatment and prevention of a wide range of nonmalignant blood disorders.

Care, support and monitoring
After treatment, we continue to care for your child through our pediatric survivorship programs. We monitor your child's health regularly to manage disease complications and late effects of treatment. Children and families also have access to support groups and counseling to help the transition from cancer treatment to life after treatment.
Our Capacity
Boston Children’s is one of the largest pediatric medical centers in the United States with more than 40 clinical departments and 258 specialized clinical programs.
You are our inspiration
Every day, families like yours look to Boston Children's for answers, treatment and hope.
And every day, they inspire us to meet that challenge by seeing beyond the limitations the rest of the world places on what's possible. To solve unsolvable problems and to find answers to unanswerable questions.
Our patients inspire us to be creative and research the answers to unanswerable questions. They inspire us to do more as a team than any of us could possibly achieve as individuals. And they inspire us to believe that we can do more — that we must do more — for them and for each and every child in our care.
Our audacious goal is to always be a leader for your child and for children's health everywhere.
