Pediatric Sarcomas

At the Children's Oncology Group, we work on the design and implementation of studies regarding Ewing sarcoma, osteosarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, and other soft tissue sarcomas. The Children's Oncology Group is a consortium of cancer treatment centers across the United States, Canada, and other countries. Dr. Grier is an active member of the Bone Tumor Disease Committee and the Soft Tissue Sarcoma Committee of this group. As part of the Pediatric Solid Tumor Center at Dana-Farber/Boston Children's, we help organize laboratory and clinical cross talk. We are also involved in cancer survivor studies that focus on the late effects of chemotherapy. These studies are led by Dr. Lisa Diller at the David B. Perini Jr. Quality of Life Clinic at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. In addition, we participate in a study of the best application of palliative care through our work with the Pediatric Advanced Care Team, led by Dr. Joanne Wolfe.
