The Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Program at Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey provides comprehensive, state-of-the-art care for children and adolescents with cancer and blood disorders. Care is provided by a multidisciplinary team of subspecialists. A team of physicians, nurses, social workers and child life therapists tends to all aspects of care for the patient and family. In addition, full-time teachers are on staff, so children can stay current with their schoolwork while receiving treatment.

The Cancer Institute offers the most advanced approaches to cancer care and the treatment of blood disorders, using sophisticated techniques in diagnosis, surgery, and chemotherapy and radiation therapy. As full members of the Children's Oncology Group, the world's largest research organization for the understanding and treatment of childhood care, the Cancer Institute can offer the most advanced care to children.

Care is provided in a comfortable setting designed specifically for young children and adolescents, with laboratory, pharmacy and transfusion services on site. Patients who need to stay overnight are admitted to the Pediatric Hematology/Oncology unit at The Bristol-Myers Squibb Children's Hospital at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital.
