Pediatric Hematology-Oncology
UC Davis Pediatric Hematology-Oncology providers diagnose and treat a wide range of cancer and blood disorders. Our objectives are to ensure our pediatric, adolescent, and young adult patients have access to the best care and leading-edge research close to home, and to improve outcomes for patients by participating in the development of better treatments.
Patients coming to UC Davis for treatment have access to clinical trials of new therapies rarely offered at community hospitals, a full complement of supportive programs while in treatment, and the region’s only clinic for managing the long-term effects of treatment on survivors of childhood cancers.
Research Activities
Our pediatric hematology-oncology team works hard to improve outcomes for patients with pediatric, adolescent and young adult cancers through ensuring access to clinical trials, developing research to explore new possibilities for diagnosis and therapy, improving outcomes and collaborating with others to make sure novel treatment options are available to our patients close to home.
