The Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders at Lurie Children’s treats more children with cancer and blood disorders than any other hospital in Illinois. Although cancer is rare in children, we treat 220 new patients each year for a wide range of childhood cancers. The center is ranked 18th in the nation by U.S. News & World Report for pediatric oncology. We also have the region’s most complete array of programs and services for children with blood disorders such as Hemoglobin Disorders, Hemophilia, Thrombophilia and Sickle Cell Disease.
Members of Lurie Children’s Division of Hematology, Oncology and Stem Cell Transplantation staff the Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders. Our team includes:
Division Head Stewart Goldman, MD, is a board-certified pediatric hematologist/oncologist with more than 15 years of experience in the field. An active physician researcher, he directs clinical trials research at Lurie Children’s Research Center. Dr. Goldman also is a Professor of Pediatrics at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine.
We are committed to caring for each patient’s physical, emotional and social needs in a kid-friendly environment. We believe in family-centered care, which means we involve the whole family in a patient’s treatment plan. From bring family members into care plan meetings, to providing support and distraction to a patient’s siblings, we do our best to help fit our care within your lifestyle.
A multidisciplinary team of experienced healthcare providers will care for your child. This team approach makes it easier for you to see every specialist your child needs under one roof and often in the same visit. To meet all of your child’s needs, physicians in our center have access to specialists from 70 medical and surgical specialties at Lurie Children’s. Our physicians also work closely with pediatric radiation oncologists and other specialists at the nearby Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of Northwestern University.
We treat patients ranging in age from newborns to young adults. Families from throughout the Midwest and across the country come to Lurie Children’s to take advantage of resources for cancer and blood disorder care that are not widely available.
