Pediatric Cancer and Blood Disorders Programs

The Aflac Cancer Center and Blood Disorders Service offers a wide array of services for children with cancer, bleeding and clotting disorders and sickle cell disease. Our resources are focused on four main approaches for fighting these diseases: a better understanding of the diseases’ origins, innovative therapy, blood and marrow transplantation as a special form of advanced treatment and childhood cancer survivorship.
