Pediatric Cancer Surgery
The Division of Pediatric Surgery works closely with pediatric hematologists/oncologists at Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital to deliver the most advanced, informed, and compassionate care available. We have extensive experience with both the common forms of pediatric cancer, such as Wilms' tumor, neuroblastoma, and germ cell tumors, as well as rare tumors. Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital is a primary affiliate of the national Children's Oncology Group (COG), and our patients have access to their studies and protocols at every step of their care.
We are committed to expanding the treatment options for children with cancer in every way possible. One of the special programs we have developed at the Hospital involves the use of minimal access surgery (laparoscopy and thoracoscopy) in the diagnosis and treatment of certain types of pediatric cancer. These special techniques can, in many cases, improve our diagnostic capabilities and add to the comfort of our oncology patients.
Ultimately, perhaps the most important way in which we can advance pediatric cancer care is through research. The Pediatric Surgical Laboratory at Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital is committed to the study of childhood tumors which are difficult to treat. We believe that, just as children deserve the special environment of a children's hospital, children with cancer deserve the particular attention of pediatric research scientists.
