Childhood Leukemia, Lymphoma, and Histiocytosis

The Hematologic Malignancy Center at Dana-Farber/Boston Children's Cancer and Blood Disorders Center is one of the top pediatric leukemia and lymphoma treatment centers in the world. In addition to treating blood cancers — leukemias and lymphomas — our center treats the primary types of histiocytosis, a disease that shares many of the characteristics of cancer and is generally treated using similar therapies. We treat these conditions:
