Pediatric Neuro-Oncology Program
The Pediatric Neuro-Oncology Program at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) treats children who have cancers of the brain, spine and nervous system. We understand that these types of cancers can be very frightening for both you and your child. We will give you the support you need every step of the way.
Our team is known the world over for our expertise. We have the highest quality technology for obtaining images of these tumors, which allows us to create the best possible treatment plan for your child. If your child needs surgery, our surgeons have extensive experience operating on every type of brain tumor.
Your child will always be seen by the same neuro-oncologist, who will gain a thorough understanding of your child’s condition. Through treatment and beyond, we will be by your side.
How we serve you
To give your child the very best care, our doctors, nurses and other experts are grouped into specially trained treatment teams. These teams provide your child with personalized care while building strong relationships to support your family.
