Pediatric Cancer
The Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center is the only cancer center in the state of Tennessee that treats and offers care and clinical trials for both adult and pediatric patients. Our providers are integrated with Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt, and they see our youngest patients all the way through to their young adult care.
Caring for Our Smallest Patients
We strive to improve the lives of children with blood disorders and cancer, advance discovery through research, and train the leaders of the future. We treat all cancers that occur in children and adolescents, as well as some in young adults.
Across the many diseases, we provide state-of-the art clinical care and access to cutting-edge therapies and clinical trials. Our faculty include nationally and internationally recognized leaders in the field. We are the only pediatric oncology program in the state of Tennessee with this unique combination of clinical programs and access to all pediatric and cancer subspecialties all within our medical center. Our clinical care is supported by a multi-specialty, multidisciplinary specialty team of physicians, nurses, psychologists, pharmacists, social workers, nutritionists, child life specialists, and others who all work together to provide evidence-based family-centered care.
Our team conducts basic science, clinical, and population-based research with studies conducted in the United States and abroad. With multimillion-dollar funding from the National Institutes of Health, foundations, and generous donors, our faculty, staff, trainees, and students are committed to new discovery that will lead to prevention, early detection, and treatment for blood disorders and cancer.
