How to arrive

Language -

Leukaemia is the most common cancer in childhood. It occurs when white blood cells transform into malignant or cancerous cells.

Treatment of leukaemia in Spain

SJD Barcelona Children's Hospital belongs to Innovative Therapies for Children with Cancer (ITCC), which allows us to access the most innovative treatments and include our patients in pioneering clinical trials. An example of new treatments is the application of CAR-T 19 immunotherapy: we are one of the few pediatric centers in Europe and the only one in Spain that offers this therapy. 

Currently, CAR-T 19 immunotherapy treatment is offered in patients who have undergone conventional treatments without success, usually with one or more relapses.
