Surgical Oncology Treatment

The Surgical Oncology Program at Children’s Hospital Colorado provides treatment for a wide variety of pediatric tumors and cancers. Through a strong collaboration with our Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders, Department of Pediatric Urology and Department of Pediatric Surgery, our oncology and surgical experts are able to treat every type of pediatric cancer, no matter how common or rare.

Ranked among the nation’s best pediatric cancer treatment centers, our hospital is known for its multidisciplinary approach and outstanding outcomes. Our surgeons and oncologists are members of the Children’s Oncology Group (COG), allowing us to collaborate with experts from all over the United States and Canada who focus exclusively on pediatric cancer research. This research combined with our innovative approach to surgical treatment enables us to provide treatment for a wide range of cancers using the most modern techniques.
