If your child has refractory (relapsed) neuroblastoma, we offer exceptional personalized care, including treatment with therapies that might not be available at other programs. Our team includes international leaders in neuroblastoma treatment. Because we have treated so many children — including children who have come to us from around the world — we have a deep familiarity with this type of cancer.

Your child will always be seen by the same oncologist, who will gain a thorough understanding of your child’s condition. We know your family has already faced many challenges. Through every step, we will be by your side.
