Cancer and Blood Disorders Center
Our Cancer and Blood Disorders Center is among the most experienced and largest specializing in the treatment of children. In fact, Children's Hospital is ranked number 33 by U.S. News and World Report.
With access to key resources and related disciplines, we can provide the most efficient, personalized and comprehensive care. The resources are enhanced by collaboration with partners like the Medical College of Wisconsin and BloodCenter of Wisconsin.
The Cancer and Blood Disorders Center recently was named a Phase I Center by Children's Oncology Group, an award given to only 21 centers in the world. This allows children in our care to benefit from clinical research trials to explore new therapies for childhood cancer. The Cancer and Blood Disorders Center is the only Phase 1 Center in Wisconsin. For more information on participation in Phase I clinical trials, please contact the Phase I research team at Phase-IOnc@mcw.edu.
