We treat your child’s cancer or blood disorder and provide support for the whole family.
If your child has been diagnosed with cancer or a blood disorder, our team provides the expert, compassionate care your child needs along with support for your entire family.
At Stephen D. Hassenfeld Children’s Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders, our doctors are leaders in diagnosing and treating all types of childhood cancers, including leukemia, Hodgkin lymphoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, brain and spinal cord tumors, neurofibromatosis, and bone and soft tissue sarcomas. We also specialize in diagnosing and treating platelet, white blood cell, and blood-clotting disorders.
Your child’s healthcare team includes the primary doctor whom he or she sees regularly, as well as nurses who specialize in hematology and oncology, nurse practitioners, social workers, child life specialists, psychologists, educators, nutritionists, physical therapists, and occupational therapists.
Our team, part of Hassenfeld Children’s Hospital at NYU Langone, recognizes that children need their lives to feel as normal as possible while in our care. We have created programs for children and families that include support groups, yoga, and massage. We also host holiday celebrations, provide homework assistance, and give children opportunities to play.
Our pediatric experts provide the best care possible for children with conditions ranging from minor illnesses to complex, more serious conditions.
