For 60 years, Children's Hospital Boston and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute have worked together to provide the best care available for children with cancer. Through Dana-Farber/Children's Hospital Cancer Care (DF/CHCC), patients are treated by a team of pediatric specialists and nurses trained to care for young cancer patients who focus solely on the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric cancers. As needed, teams are supplemented with multidisciplinary medical sub-specialists and support professionals.
