Pediatric Cancer Clinical Trials
Expanding Hope to Pediatric Cancer Patients and Their Families

Because some pediatric cancers can be rare and so hard to treat, it’s always good to know that there could be other treatment options available. Our team of oncologists has access to clinical trials across the globe. This enables us to connect patients with exploratory treatments that they may otherwise not have known about.

If you are interested in clinical trial options, ask your oncologist for more information.
