McDonnell Pediatric Cancer Center

Advancing research to transform outcomes for children with cancer, our center unites scientists and clinicians to tackle the leading cause of disease-related death among U.S. children. Despite progress in treatment, cancer still claims young lives and leaves survivors facing lifelong challenges such as hearing loss, learning difficulties, heart damage, infertility and secondary cancers. Through innovative basic and applied research, we strive to develop safer cures while reducing long-term complications.
