Cancer and Blood Disorders Center Services

Seattle Children’s treats all childhood blood disorders and cancers – including rare and complex diseases.

Our doctors, nurses and many other staff members are experts at working with children of all ages, from infants through teens.

We offer a wide range of diagnostic services and treatments, including the very latest options. Because our doctors take part in national and international research studies, and often lead them, we can offer new treatment options that many other hospitals cannot give their patients.
