The Division of Oncology is an international leader in the diagnosis, treatment and investigation of childhood cancer. It is housed in the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins.

The division provides comprehensive care for children with every form of cancer. Many important discoveries and accomplishments have come out of the pediatric oncology labs and clinics.

At Johns Hopkins, children with cancer are treated in our state-of-the-art inpatient and outpatient facilities, staffed by professionals who understand the special needs of children with cancer. Pediatric subspecialty physicians, home health care and hospice, child life, social work and rehabilitation medicine services are offered through Hopkins Children's to help children and their families deal with the problems of cancer and its treatment.
