Our team’s fellowship-trained pediatric surgeon performs sophisticated surgeries in delicate areas. Our deep experience helps us remove brain and spinal tumors safely, with a high degree of precision.

Clinical Trial

APEC1621B, NCI-COG Pediatric MATCH (Molecular Analysis for Therapy Choice) - Phase 2 subprotocol of JNJ-42756493 (Erdafitinib) in patients with relapsed pediatric solid tumors harboring FGFR1/2/3/4 alteration

This phase II Pediatric MATCH trial studies how well erdafitinib works in treating patients with solid tumors, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, or histiocytic disorders that have spread to other places in the body and have come back or do not respond to treatment with FGFR mutations. Erdafitinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Cancer Treatment
Pediatric Radiation Therapy

Radiation therapy can be a useful tool in treating childhood cancers. At Mays Cancer Center, our team includes radiation oncologists with expertise in the unique needs of pediatric patients. We treat children from infancy to adulthood, using leading therapies that destroy cancer cells with exceptional precision. Our care always focuses on a child’s comfort, safety and long-term health.

Clinical Trial

APEC1621G, NCI-COG Pediatric MATCH (Molecular Analysis for Therapy Choice) – Phase 2 Subprotocol of Vemurafenib in patients with tumors harboring BRAF V600 mutations

This Pediatric MATCH screening and multi-sub-study phase II trial studies how well treatment that is directed by genetic testing works in pediatric patients with solid tumors, non-Hodgkin lymphomas, or histiocytic disorders that have progressed following at least one line of standard systemic therapy and/or for which no standard treatment exists that has been shown to prolong survival. Genetic tests look at the unique genetic material (genes) of patients' tumor cells. Patients with genetic changes or abnormalities (mutations) may benefit more from treatment which targets their tumor's particular genetic mutation, and may help doctors plan better treatment for patients with solid tumors or non-Hodgkin lymphomas.

Clinical Trial

APEC1621H, NCI-COG Pediatric MATCH (Molecular Analysis for Therapy Choice) – Phase 2 Subprotocol of olaparib in patients with tumors harboring defects in DNA damage repair genes

This Pediatric MATCH screening and multi-sub-study phase II trial studies how well treatment that is directed by genetic testing works in pediatric patients with solid tumors, non-Hodgkin lymphomas, or histiocytic disorders that have progressed following at least one line of standard systemic therapy and/or for which no standard treatment exists that has been shown to prolong survival. Genetic tests look at the unique genetic material (genes) of patients' tumor cells. Patients with genetic changes or abnormalities (mutations) may benefit more from treatment which targets their tumor's particular genetic mutation, and may help doctors plan better treatment for patients with solid tumors or non-Hodgkin lymphomas.

Clinical Trial

APEC1621A, NCI-COG Pediatric MATCH (Molecular Analysis for Therapy Choice) - Phase 2 sub-protocol of LOXO-101 (larotrectinib) in patients with tumors harboring NTRK fusions.

This phase II Pediatric MATCH trial studies how well larotrectinib works in treating patients with solid tumors, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, or histiocytic disorders with NTRK fusions that have spread to other places in the body and have come back or do not respond to treatment. Larotrectinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Clinical Trial

APEC1621C, NCI-COG Pediatric MATCH (Molecular Analysis for Therapy Choice) – Phase 2 Subprotocol of Tazemetostat in Patients with Tumors Harboring Alterations in EZH2 or Members of the SWI/SNF Complex

This Pediatric MATCH screening and multi-sub-study phase II trial studies how well treatment that is directed by genetic testing works in pediatric patients with solid tumors, non-Hodgkin lymphomas, or histiocytic disorders that have progressed following at least one line of standard systemic therapy and/or for which no standard treatment exists that has been shown to prolong survival. Genetic tests look at the unique genetic material (genes) of patients' tumor cells. Patients with genetic changes or abnormalities (mutations) may benefit more from treatment which targets their tumor's particular genetic mutation, and may help doctors plan better treatment for patients with solid tumors or non-Hodgkin lymphomas.

Clinical Trial

APEC1621F, NCI-COG Pediatric MATCH (Molecular Analysis for Therapy Choice) - Phase 2 subprotocol of Ensartinib in patients with tumors harboring ALK or ROS1 genomic alterations

This phase II Pediatric MATCH trial studies how well ensartinib works in treating patients with solid tumors, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, or histiocytic disorders with ALK or ROS1 genomic alterations that have come back (recurrent) or do not respond to treatment (refractory) and have spread to other places in the body (advanced). Ensartinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
