Oncology Surgery
At Children’s, our cancer surgery outcomes are some of the best in the U.S., according to data from the Pediatric Health Information Systems (PHIS) database. Oncology surgery team members perform state-of-the-art procedures , such as intraoperative MRI-assisted surgery and minimally invasive surgery.
Oncologists partner with pediatric surgeons, such as pediatric urology surgeons, neurosurgeons and ENT surgeons, depending on your child’s unique needs. More than 1,200 oncology surgeries are performed each year, making Children’s the largest provider of cancer surgeries in the Upper Midwest. Other invasive procedures, such as biopsies, and PICC line placement, are performed frequently at Children’s as well. For more information, visit Children’s cancer and blood disorders program page.
