Dell Children's Blood and Cancer Center School Liaison Position
School is the most important part of a child's life. Continuing to keep up academically and stay connected with classmates is important for all children diagnosed with cancer. Sometimes it is difficult to return to school after their diagnosis and treatment or after a long hospital stay. The struggle may not always be medical reasons, but often the fear of classmates teasing them because of their appearance, worrying about keeping up with schoolwork, or maybe feeling isolated from their peers.
The iniative provides patients with an educational school liaison who maintains ongoing communications between the medical team, the child's school, and their family. This helps the student return to a more normal lifestyle and feel comfortable going back to school.

TRACK (Tumor Residual Assessment for Cancer in Kids)
Dell Children's Blood and Cancer Center TRACK Study:
Once a patient is enrolled in the study, a patient receives a personalized blood test that identifies genetic
markers specific to their individual tumor . These markers may then be followed during and after
treatment to assess response to therapy and monitor for recurrence.
Although this test is widely used to monitor adult patients with colon cancer or breast cancer, this test is
not as widely utilized in pediatric patients.
