Stony Brook participates in a broad range of cancer clinical trials and basic research. All of the team’s pediatric surgeons, radiation oncologists, and pediatric oncologists are members of the prestigious Children’s Oncology Group.
Laboratory research includes investigating the mechanism of tumorigenesis for neuroblastomas and brain tumors; studying the late effects of cancer therapy, focusing on the development of bone mineral loss during therapy (this study encompasses one of the largest groups of such children treated for childhood cancer); and studying children with bone marrow failure diseases such as Fanconi anemia.
