Cancer and Blood Disorders Clinic
About this resource
BC Children's Hospital provides comprehensive care for children under 17 years of age who have cancer or complex blood disorders.
Cancer
The care is provided by a team of experts knowledgeable in the specialized laboratory, radiological, surgical and medical evaluation of children.
The team works in close collaboration with the BC Cancer Agency and its community centres and clinics, in providing treatment and follow-up for children with cancer. Adolescents over the age of 17 at diagnosis should be referred to the BC Cancer Agency. In special cases, older adolescents will be considered for treatment at BCCH.
Blood Diseases
They provide consultative service and directive care for patients with complex hematological disorders such as bleeding, red cell disorders, thrombosis, cytopenias, and bone marrow failure syndromes.
The hematology outpatient service is staffed by the same physicians who run the oncology service.
