Also included in the clinic are treatment rooms for procedures like bone marrow aspirations as well as chemotherapy administration rooms.
Inpatient Treatment
The inpatient treatment ward provides advanced care for hospitalized pediatric cancer patients. It contains 16 beds in a high tech setting, complete with stringent infection controls like HEPA filters and positive pressure entranceways. Around the clock care is provided by a dedicated medical and nursing staff. Additionally, parents and family are offered support, comfort, and constant status updates.
Pediatric Leukemias, Solid And Brain Tumor Research Laboratory
Our research here is focused on the treatment of childhood cancer patients, particularly those with aggressive and difficult to treat cancers. We take a comprehensive approach, combining clinical and basic research with a multidisciplinary team, including members of the Pediatric Hemato-Oncology Department. We have numerous ongoing research projects, including investigations into genetic markers of pediatric brain cancer, hematological malignancies, stem cell research, and studies of drugs for the treatment of brain cancer.
