The Oncology Program staff at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin knows that childhood cancer is different from adult cancers in development, treatment, response to therapy, tolerance of therapy and prognosis. Our multidisciplinary oncology team includes specialists who are highly trained to diagnose and treat children's cancer, and to help the child and their family through the process.

The center specializes in treating:

• Acute and chronic leukemia.
• Bone tumors.

  Austin, here with his mom Sue, was diagnosed with cancer when he was 8 years old. Austin has written and recorded his own songs to raise money and awareness for childhood cancer.

• Brain tumors.
• Ewing sarcoma.
• Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphomas.
• Langerhans cell histiocytosis.
• Neuroblastoma.
• Osteosarcoma.
• Retinoblastoma.
• Rhabdomyosarcoma.
• Soft tissue sarcomas.
• Other pediatric tumors and cancers.
