Doctors at the Stephen D. Hassenfeld Children’s Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders, part of Hassenfeld Children’s Hospital at NYU Langone, along with our experts in pediatric neurosurgery, provide comprehensive and coordinated care for children with noncancerous or cancerous brain and spinal cord tumors. From diagnosis and treatment through short- and long-term follow-up care, our team of pediatric neuro-oncologists, neurosurgeons, radiation oncologists, physiatrists, neuropsychologists, physical and occupational therapists, speech–language pathologists, and social workers ensures that your child’s needs are addressed.

Hassenfeld Children’s Hospital is home to one of the oldest pediatric tumor centers in New York City, and our specialists are among the most experienced in their field. Our neurosurgeons are nationally known experts in some of the most modern surgical techniques for brain tumors.
