Pediatric Hematology/ Oncology Clinic

The majority of visits to the Pediatric Hematology/ Oncology Clinic are by cancer patients, although patients with sickle cell disease, chronic neutropenias and chronic granulomatous disease are treated as well. In addition, there is a clinic devoted solely to hemophilia and coagulation disorders.

The clinic's address and information on appointments is on the make an appointment web page.

Patient Care

The Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Clinic accepts patient referrals for all hematologic and oncologic problems in children and adolescents. Four full-day clinics are held and approximately 100 to 125 patients are seen in the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center each week. Most patients receive multidisciplinary input from pediatric surgeons, pathologists, radiologists and radiotherapists.

The University of Michigan serves as a referral center for much of the state of Michigan, as well as northwestern Ohio.
