Common Pediatric Cancers and Blood Conditions
Sanford Children’s has pediatric specialists that are experts in diagnosing and managing a variety of conditions. Our number of specialties and specialists goes unmatched in the region.
Our pediatric hematologists and oncologists treat:
-
Benign hematologic conditions: These can include anemia, bleeding disorders, clotting disorders, enzyme disorders and more. A combination of lifestyle changes and medication can help manage these inherited blood conditions.
-
Blood cancers (leukemia): Blood cancers need to be monitored and can be treated with chemotherapy, radiation therapy, stem-cell transplants or a combination of these treatments.
-
Bone marrow failure syndromes: Children whose bone marrow can’t properly make blood cells have bone marrow failure. Treatment for these conditions depends on the failure’s cause.
-
Childhood cancers: Your child’s treatment options will depend on the type of cancer and its severity. Treatment can include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy or a combination of these options.
-
Childhood skin cancer: Skin cancer is rare in children, but it can happen. Children should see a dermatologist if they have an odd-looking or unusually large mole.
-
Myelodysplasia: Visit Sanford Children’s Myelodysplasia Clinic if your child has this rare bone marrow disease. It needs highly specialized treatments, or it may progress into leukemia.
-
Survivorship: Children who have survived cancer can experience side effects months or years after cancer treatment. At Sanford Children’s, child cancer survivors get long-term follow-up care to help keep them healthy years after cancer.
