Protocols
The Pediatric Oncology Branch treats a wide variety of pediatric
malignancies including acute leukemia, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, osteogenic
sarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, Ewing's sarcoma (and other bony or soft-tissue
sarcomas), neuroblastoma and brain tumors.
There are over two dozen active treatment protocols. Clinical protocols
for newly diagnosed patients emphasize "state of the art"
treatment. In addition, treatment approaches for relapsed patients
include Phases 1 and 2 studies, which utilize new chemotherapeutic
agents and differentiation agents. Children, teenagers and young
adults (less than 25 years old) with newly diagnosed or recurrent
malignancies are potential candidates for referral to the Pediatric
Oncology Branch.
