Pediatric Cancer and Blood Disease Services
Your child deserves the best cancer care available.
At University of Iowa Stead Family Children’s Hospital, your child is treated by a specialist who is an expert in your child’s specific type of cancer, with access to the best treatments, including clinical trials of promising new therapies not yet widely available.
And every member of our staff is specially trained to care for children, offering support, compassion, and hope to kids and their families, every step of the way.
Leukemia and lymphoma are cancers of the blood. We are nationally recognized for our experience and expertise in treating children with these conditions.
Neuro-oncologists treat cancer of the brain and spinal cord. We have the region’s only dedicated neuro-oncology program for children with central nervous system-related diseases.
Solid tumors are cancers that affect bones and organs. We use personalized treatment plans for each type of cancer, and our care teams include surgeons who specialize in childhood cancers.
Hematologists treat diseases that affect the blood and the parts of the body that make blood. We offer a full range of treatment for common and rare blood conditions to help kids live better lives.
We're using the latest therapies to improve the body's ability to fight cancerous tumors and make healthy blood. And our research is ongoing—we're working every day to invent newer and better treatments for our pediatric patients.
