The High-Risk Leukemia/Lymphoma (HRLL) fellowship program at Seattle Children’s Hospital (SCH) provides multidisciplinary care for children with high-risk leukemias and lymphomas who require treatment plans beyond standard chemotherapy, including cellular immunotherapy and Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (HCT). This program has a broad national referral base for novel experimental therapies for children with high-risk leukemias and lymphomas.

SCH/Ben Towne Center for Childhood Cancer Research (BTCCR) and Fred Hutch Cancer Center (Fred Hutch) are international leaders in disease biology and early phase biologically-driven pharma, immunotherapy and HCT trials for children with HRL. The HRL fellowship will provide broad multidisciplinary experience in the management of children and adolescents with HRL and exposure to current best active therapies, including HCT, as well as early phase and novel trial therapies in oncology and HCT.
