Leukemia/Lymphomas
A full range of treatment options is available for children with acute or chronic lymphocytic and myelogenous leukemia, including chemotherapy, stem cell transplantation and radiation therapy. Oncology physicians and nurses offer and implement the treatment plan adequate for each child based on the type of leukemia and certain prognostic factors. Children with Hodgkin’s disease and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) are thoroughly evaluated and promptly treated according to the specific subtype and stage of the disease. They are supported by a team of psychologists, social workers and other specialized professionals who provide compassionate “total care” for the child and family.
