Children’s Cancer Care
Supportive, Expert Oncology Services for Kids of All Ages in New Jersey
When your child is diagnosed with cancer, everything else fades into the background. The only focus becomes helping them heal and finding the right team close to home to walk with you on that journey.
At Hackensack Meridian Children’s Health, we provide trusted pediatric cancer care for families across New Jersey, including Bergen County, Monmouth County, Ocean County, Middlesex County, and neighboring communities. Whether your child has a more common condition like leukemia or lymphoma, or a rare solid tumor such as neuroblastoma or Wilms tumor, our board-certified pediatric oncologists offer the expert care and support your family needs right here in your community.
What Makes Our Approach Different
Where Compassion Meets Cutting-Edge Treatment
We understand how overwhelming it is to face a cancer diagnosis in your child. That’s why our entire approach blends breakthrough treatments with compassionate, whole-family support.
As a proud member of the Children’s Oncology Group (COG) and the Pacific Pediatric Neuro-Oncology Consortium (PNOC), our team has access to the most current research and treatment protocols, many of which are offered through our 100+ clinical trials, including some developed right here in New Jersey.
We are also the only certified site in New Jersey to offer CAR T-cell therapy, and we’re exploring therapies that may reduce or eliminate the need for traditional chemotherapy or radiation. Our specialists stay up to date on the latest FDA-approved treatments so your child can benefit from the most advanced options available.
A Team That Cares for the Whole Child
Getting excellent cancer care shouldn’t mean giving up comfort or convenience. We work closely with your child’s pediatrician and other specialists to deliver care that’s coordinated, seamless, and grounded in what matters to your family.
Care doesn’t end when treatment does. Our support continues with survivor programs, psychosocial services, and long-term health monitoring to guide your child through every step from diagnosis through survivorship and into adulthood.
