types of cancers and treatment
your first visit
A cancer diagnosis is stressful for families trying to comprehend what is happening to their child. Our team moves quickly to confirm the diagnosis and establish a plan of care, and begins treatment.
The multidisciplinary team will meet to talk about test results and create a treatment plan. Your oncologist will then spend time reviewing the plan with your family and answering any and all related questions. This treatment plan can include surgery, chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy. Depending on the type of cancer your child has and how advanced it is, we may recommend starting therapy the next day. In most cases, therapy begins within the week.
ongoing treatment
Treatment will involve inpatient and outpatient care.
- Outpatient care: Patients come to our outpatient cancer clinic for physician appointments and procedures such as transfusions and chemotherapy.
- Inpatient care: When patients need to be hospitalized, they are admitted to our dedicated hematology/oncology unit. This unit provides special care for patients receiving prolonged chemotherapy or recovering from a surgical procedure, or those who are ill and need round-the-clock care.
