Creating cancer breakthroughs through research

Comprehensive, Compassionate Care

Our board-certified physicians are dedicated to providing comprehensive care to children with cancer and blood disorders, along with coordinated patient and family support.

Advanced Care for Brain Tumors

Pediatric brain tumors are the leading cause of cancer-related death in children. Connecticut Children’s is one of the few children’s hospitals in the country with a team dedicated to diagnosing and treating brain tumors in children. Our pediatric oncologists partner with our highly skilled neurosurgeons and radiology specialists on a collaborative treatment approach.  We are dedicated to giving children with pediatric brain cancer the best possible chance of survival and recovery.

We understand that a diagnosis of childhood brain cancer can be overwhelming and frightening for children and their families. We are here to support you every step of the way, and we will work tirelessly to ensure that your child receives the best possible care.

Protecting Little Hearts

Together with our Cardiology and Cardiovascular Surgery Program our Center for Cancer & Blood Disorders actively looks for early markers of heart damage in pediatric cancer patients. Our experts use cardiac MRI to detect cardiac damage and determine therapies that prevent and manage heart damage in cancer survivors before it progresses.

Research & Clinical Trials

Connecticut Children’s is home to some of the top researchers in the nation. We are currently conducting studies to improve fertility in female patients undergoing chemotherapy, as well as evaluating the long-term effects of chemotherapy on the heart.

Connecticut Children’s also partners with three research groups, Children’s Oncology Group, The Sunshine Project and Beat Childhood Cancer Research Consortium. These partnerships help us to offer pediatric patients the latest innovations in clinical therapy, while also advancing clinical cancer research that benefits children everywhere.
