Leukemia and Lymphoma Program at Dell Children’s
Leukemias and lymphomas are cancers of the blood, and they are the most common forms of cancer diagnosed in kids. At Dell Children’s Blood and Cancer Center, our Leukemia and Lymphoma team provides comprehensive, expert, and compassionate care throughout your child’s cancer journey. We have the largest program for children with leukemia and lymphoma in Central Texas. Our program provides evidence-based treatment tailored to fit your child’s individual needs. These are some of the reasons families and physicians across central Texas trust our team.
Comprehensive care for leukemia and lymphoma
- A team of expert physicians. Our pediatric oncologists work with other pediatric specialists including surgeons, radiologists, and hematopathologists to efficiently and effectively diagnose your child’s condition.
- Treatment according to your child’s unique needs. Treatment of leukemia and lymphoma is complex. Our goal is to provide the most effective therapy while also limiting side effects. We provide treatment according to the most modern, evidence based guidelines that are tailored to meet your child’s individual needs.
