The Comprehensive Care Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders provides extensive services to children through 21 years of age with blood disorders or malignancies. For children with a malignancy, state-of-the-art care is provided through collaboration with the Children's Oncology Group. A multidisciplinary approach ensures that patients' and families' medical and psychosocial needs are met.
The multidisciplinary care team for Dayton Children's Cancer Program follow nationally approved protocols for cancer treatment. This ensures the infants, children and teens treated at Dayton Children's receive the latest cancer treatments. All children are treated regardless of ability to pay.
Dayton Children's cancer program received a full-three year approval from the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer after a successful survey in November 2006. This makes Children's one of just 17 approved pediatric programs in the country.

- Hematology/oncology services are provided to children with malignancies and blood disorders by our team of board-certified pediatric hematologists/oncologists. The children receive their care primarily in the inpatient unit, outpatient clinic or the Almost Home (short-stay/observation) unit. Nurses with additional training and expertise in pediatric oncology nursing staff these units. In the outpatient clinic, children are seen for follow-up exams, medication administration and transfusions in a patient-focused environment. Procedures requiring conscious sedation and after-hours care are provided by Almost Home. The inpatient unit provides special care for the seriously ill patient and those patients receiving prolonged administrations of chemotherapy. All rooms in the inpatient unit are HEPA-filtered to provide a safe environment for children. The hematology/oncology department works closely with Children's Home Care of Dayton (CHCOD) and general practitioners to meet the special needs of these children. Director: Emmett Broxson, Jr, MD
