Innovative Treatments for High-Risk Leukemia

If your child’s leukemia is harder to treat and more likely to come back after treatment, our team of high-risk leukemia experts in diagnosis, care and research will relentlessly search for the best possible treatment options for your child. From the first visit through follow-up, your child will receive seamless care. This close collaboration by experts in many specialties – including bone marrow transplant and immunotherapy clinical trials – sets us apart from other academic medical centers.

Advanced Diagnostics and Treatment

Seattle Children’s provides the most advanced treatments for leukemia and lymphoma in our region. These include immunotherapy, targeted therapies, innovative combinations of chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgery and stem cell transplants.

In addition to standard diagnostics, our team uses state-of-the-art tests like molecular profiling and next-generation sequencing for children with leukemia. These tests help us find what is unique about your child’s cancer and identify the best treatment options for them.

We strive to improve cure rates and avoid the harsh effects from treatments like chemotherapy or radiation therapy. When possible, we use therapies that target your child’s specific cancer. This approach is called precision (or personalized) medicine.
