Each year, about 4,000 children and teens in the U.S. are diagnosed with brain tumors—the most common pediatric solid tumor.
The Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center offers a team of providers with specialized expertise in treating all forms of childhood brain and spinal cord tumors. Each year, our program cares for more than 120 newly diagnosed patients with central nervous system (CNS) tumors, making us one of the largest treatment centers for pediatric brain cancer in the country.
By using diverse treatment protocols, including state-of-the-art neurosurgical techniques, radiation treatment, chemotherapy with peripheral blood stem cell transplantation, and highly innovative phase I and phase II trials of novel agents for children whose cancer has relapsed or is not responding to standard treatment, we offer comprehensive medical care for patients of all ages and with all stages of disease.
