Combining outpatient and inpatient services, our paediatric oncology department offers comprehensive cancer care to children of all ages with solid and brain tumours.
We treat children and adolescents with a variety of malignant solid tumours, including bone and soft tissue tumours, liver and kidney tumours, neuroblastomas, retinoblastomas and rare tumours.
Our multidisciplinary teams include radiologists, pathologists, paediatric surgeons, paediatricians, neurosurgeons/spine surgeons, neurologists, radiation oncologists, orthopaedic surgeons, urologists and thoracic surgeons; alongside the paediatric oncologist, they have the experience needed to diagnose, operate on and treat the patient's cancer. All of this takes place in a child-friendly environment, at a difficult time in the lives of our patients and their families. We use the most modern clinical techniques to improve our patients' treatment outcomes and quality of life.
