At the No. 1 cancer center in America, there is a special place for children. It’s the Children’s Cancer Hospital at M. D. Anderson.
When it comes to treating children, adolescents and young adults with cancer, we are your best hope. What sets us apart is our expertise, research and family-centered care.
Our primary focus is cancer.
We see more types of cancer than any other children’s hospital in Houston or Texas, and our oncologists treat more rare cancers in a single day than most physicians see in a lifetime.
M. D. Anderson ranks No. 1 in cancer care according to U.S.News & World Report’s annual “America’s Best Hospitals” survey. Plus, they rank first in the number and amount of research grants awarded by the National Cancer Institute.
Their pediatric oncologists specialize in specific types of cancer.
They are knowledgeable of all pediatric cancers and devote their research to finding a cure for your child’s disease.
They have leading-edge technologies and therapies not found at most hospitals. Patients have access to proton therapy, BrainSUITE, robotic surgery, PET/CT fusion imaging, aerosol chemotherapy and other state-of-the-art resources.
They've been eliminating pediatric cancer for more than six decades.
In that time, they have pioneered therapies that are more effective and less invasive for cancer patients.
Innovative therapies generally are available there several years before they become standards of care elsewhere offering novel therapies for patient care and treatment opportunities for difficult or aggressive tumors.
Family-Centered Care
They understand that cancer is not just a physical disease, so their programs focus on your child as well as your family. Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) – There is a special medical and psychosocial program just for teens and young adults with cancer.
