At NYU Langones Stephen D. Hassenfeld Childrens Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders, I treat children who have pediatric malignancies, such as leukemia and lymphoma. My personal philosophy and our teams goal is to provide individualized treatment that fits each child.We dont just treat patients”we care for children and their families. We use a 360-degree approach that extends beyond medical treatment, aiming to improve diet and nutrition and reduce the psychological, social, and spiritual burden of illness. The cure rate for childhood cancers has improved dramatically, but we want children and their families to continue to live their lives as healthfully as possible, so we focus on the future from the first day of treatment.As an oncologist involved in several national committees, I have an appreciation of where oncology is headed and how it has changed. I perform research that is funded by the National Cancer Institute and focused on discovering the molecular origins of childhood cancers. I use this research to develop better treatments and, someday, preventive measures. We are also developing precision medicine, in which we use the genetic makeup of a tumor to understand its vulnerabilities.
