The surgical and oncology teams at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia work collaboratively to provide the absolute best care possible for children with cancer who require surgery for solid tumors. Extensive experience managing the complex care of pediatric cancer patients has created processes that are effective and efficient. Every team member -- surgeons, oncologists, anesthesiologists, nurses, occupational and physical therapists -- have a common goal of getting the best outcomes for children treated at CHOP. The patient family is central to the decision making process during the entire course of a patients care, because parents and caregivers know their child better than anyone. The entire medical team considers the family situation before making any recommendations for care.
