SA MD News: South Texas Pediatric Blood and Cancer Center: Serving South Texas’ Most Seriously Ill Children Through Cancer Care and Research
Expert pediatric cancer physicians and researchers at UT Health San Antonio are working to improve the lives of children with cancer, both for today and tomorrow.
UT Health San Antonio, in partnership with the University Health System, offers advanced care for children battling cancer through the South Texas Pediatric Blood and Cancer Center.
The team, led by Gail Tomlinson, MD, PhD, provides comprehensive care that addresses every aspect of cancer care, from refining treatment options through Phase I clinical trials for young patients whose cancers aren’t responding to other forms of treatment, to addressing the psychosocial aspects the diagnosis can have and counseling families who may have genetic factors that could indicate future cancer risks within the family.
Since 2004, UT Health San Antonio, Greehey Children’s Cancer Research Institute’s (Greehey CCRI) mission has been to advance scientific knowledge relevant to childhood cancer, contribute to understanding its causes, and accelerate the translation of knowledge into novel therapies. Greehey CCRI strives to have a national and global impact on childhood cancer by discovering, developing, and disseminating new scientific knowledge. Our mission consists of three key areas — research, clinical, and education.
