The Neuro-Oncology Fellowship is a dedicated year of combined clinical and academic immersion in pediatric neuro-oncology for trainees who have completed a pediatric hematology/oncology fellowship or training in pediatric neurology.
The Brain Tumor Program at Seattle Children’s Hospital provides multidisciplinary care for over 700 children with central nervous system (CNS) tumors. This program has a broad national and international referral base for novel experimental therapies for children with CNS tumors. Seattle Children’s Hospital/Ben Towne Center for Childhood Cancer Research is an international leader in early phase biologically driven pharma and immunotherapy trials for children with high-risk CNS tumors. The fellowship will provide a broad-range multidisciplinary experience in the management of children and adolescents with CNS tumors and exposure to current best active therapies as well as early phase and novel trial therapies.
