International Cancer and Blood Disorders

Dana-Farber/Boston Children's Cancer and Blood Disorders Center offers the combined expertise of a world-class cancer center and an internationally renowned children’s hospital. Neighboring institutes connected by pedestrian bridges, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Boston Children's Hospital work together to offer seamless, integrated care for children with all types of cancer and blood disorders — including the rarest and most complex cases.

Our oncologists and orthopedists are among the world’s leaders in their respective specialties. Many have pioneered treatments that have been adopted by medical communities around the globe.

We treat more than 100 forms of cancer and blood disorders, including:

• Brain tumors
• Leukemia, lymphoma, and histiocytosis
• Solid tumors, including osteosarcoma and neuroblastoma
• Blood disorders, such as hemophilia and sickle cell disease
• Other conditions, such as genetic immunodeficiencies and metabolic disorders

While your child may have a range of specialists involved in their care, their primary team will oversee their treatment and work with you and your child throughout the treatment process. Your child’s primary team will include:

• Primary pediatric oncologist or hematologist
• Pediatric oncology nurse
• Pediatric oncology fellow or nurse practitioner
• Pediatric social worker

We offer one-of-a-kind training to support physicians who refer patients to our care. If you’re a clinician and would like to refer a patient, please reach out to Boston Children’s Global Services team:
