Resources

Knowledge is the key to successful management of any disease process. There is a vast amount of information available to assist you in learning about childhood cancer. We have provided a variety of sources for getting started in your quest for information about childhood cancer some written by our health professionals others by professionals around the country. In addition to the health information section, you might want to visit Family Resources that provides information to help yourself and your child day to day.

A reminder: Your healthcare team is still the best source of information regarding your particular situation. They are available to review and clarify information and provide detailed explanations regarding your child’s disease status.
