Dana-Farber/Children's Hospital Cancer Care coordinates all aspects of care for children with neuroblastoma, a cancerous tumor that begins in nerve tissue of young children. Because neuroblastoma is rarely seen in adults, it is important to work with a team of childhood specialists who exclusively focus on treating childhood cancers.

The pediatric specialists we have at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Children's Hospital Boston are known for treating children with the most complex cases as well as for their expertise in delivering specialized treatments, such as stem cell transplantation. They integrate care from other pediatric subspecialties at Children's into your child's treatment plan as required.

After treatment, we also provide long-term treatment and childhood cancer survivor support programs for our neuroblastoma patients through Dana-Farber's David B. Perini, Jr. Quality of Life Clinic.
