Solid Tumor Treatment Team

The Solid tumor treatment team evaluates and treats many types of cancers in children. The tumors they focus on could be in bones, muscles or other tissue, or organs such as the kidneys.

You will always have a primary doctor, your oncologist, who will give updates to your family. Members of your child or teen’s treatment team will have different specialties. This approach gives kids with cancer the best chance of survival and the best possible quality of life.
