Fewer still include a research component. The MD Anderson Children's Cancer Hospital is a renowned exception -- setting the pace for pediatric oncology. As part of the #1 Cancer Center in the nation, the Children's Cancer Hospital offes therapies and leading-edge technologies that aren't available at most children's hospitals, including Proton Therapy, BrainSUITE, enhanced diagnostic imaging, robotic surgery, and access to new groundbreaking therapies found nowhere else in the world. MD Anderson is also the only hospital in the region to provide pediatric radiology. The Children's Cancer Hospital also has an intense commitment to making more clinical trials available to children, adolescents and young adults. A few Facts: · For more than 60 years, the Children's Cancer Hospital has been making cancer history® for pediatric patients. · The only Hospital in Texas dedicated solely to caring for children, adolescents and young adults with cancer. · We care for over 2,000 children, adolescents and young adults from all over the world annually. · Because our primary focus is cancer, we see more types of cancer than any other hospital in Houston or Texas. · We treat the whole child, not just the cancer.
