At Children’s Memorial Hermann Hospital, we understand that children are not just small adults. Pediatric patients who are facing a cancer diagnosis have unique medical and social-emotional needs, and we are dedicated to providing high-quality care throughout their cancer journey. We combine the latest technology, procedures and research with compassion and a child-focused approach to treat a full range of cancer diagnoses.
The pediatric cancer program at Children’s Memorial Hermann Hospital is led by affiliated cancer specialists who serve as faculty at McGovern Medical School at UTHealth Houston. The team can evaluate and treat pediatric malignancies, including liquid tumors, non-neural solid tumors, neurologic tumors, and non-malignant oncological processes. We recognize that cancer treatments are not one size fits all. Our providers work with each patient and family to create an individualized, comprehensive plan of care delivered in a family-friendly environment.
The highly trained specialists affiliated with Children’s Memorial Hermann Hospital have extensive experience in treating a wide range of pediatric cancer diagnoses.
Each patient’s care team is led by a pediatric oncologist and pediatric hospitalist and, depending on your child’s needs, may also include:
Our multidisciplinary oncology team utilizes the latest research and technological advances to deliver the best possible outcomes. The oncology team works closely with all pediatric subspecialties at Children’s Memorial Hermann Hospital, including surgery, infectious diseases, cardiology, neurology, neurosurgery, endocrinology, GI, pulmonary, and hematology, providing every patient with specialized, comprehensive care.
For patients who are ready to transition from pediatric to adult care, we can provide a seamless continuation of care within the Memorial Hermann Health System. We are dedicated to providing care for each patient for as long as it’s needed.
If your child is diagnosed with cancer, choosing the right program can make all the difference. At Children’s Memorial Hermann Hospital, we offer comprehensive cancer treatment in a compassionate, caring environment by teams experienced in caring for children.
