The Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Section provides direct patient
care and consultation services for cancer and hematology patients,
educates new physicians, and conducts clinical and basic
science research.
Our faculty comprises board-certified, pediatric
hematologist-oncologists and psychologists specially trained to diagnose
and treat children and teens with cancers and benign hematologic
disorders including bleeding and clotting disorders, sickle cell disease
and related hemoglobinopathies, and provide marrow/stem cell
transplantation for selected malignant and benign disorders. Our
comprehensive care includes access to state-of-the-art medical diagnosis
and treatment in facilities that are patient and family friendly. Many
of the available treatment opportunities we provide are unavailable
elsewhere in the state. Our federally recognized comprehensive program
for bleeding and clotting disorders is the sole site in Oklahoma. We
also have the only FACT-accredited pediatric bone marrow and stem cell
transplantation program in Oklahoma.
We train OUHSC medical students, physician assistant students, and
pediatric residents as well as others who enroll in electives on our
service. In 2012, we opened a newly ACGME-accredited pediatric
hematology/oncology fellowship program.
Our program is committed to the development of new knowledge to
improve the care of children and adolescents with blood disorders and
cancer. We are an active member in the
Children’s Oncology Group, the Texas-Oklahoma Pediatric Neuro-Oncology Consortium (TOPNOC), and the South Plains Oncology Consortium.
We conduct clinical trials in cancer, hemophilia, and sickle cell
anemia, and The Children’s Hospital Foundation's Pediatric Cancer
Program supports endowed chairs conducting basic laboratory
investigations.
