Cancer Center
Cancer is not what parents imagine when envisioning their son's or daughter's childhood. When illness strikes, moms and dads want their child to get well as quickly, safely and permanently as possible so they can put sickness behind them and get back to the life ahead of them. At Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, our pediatric cancer treatment program is built to deliver on these goals. Here, your child will have access to the newest options in childhood cancer treatment, and a team of pediatric oncologists who are known worldwide for their expertise.

Message for Patients and Families from the Cancer Center
The last months have been a rollercoaster of emotion for all of us, but especially for you as patients and families of the CHOP Cancer Center. We thought that we were starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel of the COVID pandemic, but things have changed. Tragically, our nation has faced a series of senseless killings of Black Americans, including Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and George Floyd.
