Every breakthrough in childhood cancer starts with a family willing to hope and a team determined to find better answers.

SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital is participating in a clinical trial that could help children facing some of the most difficult-to-treat cancers, including neuroblastoma.

The trial is studying a new treatment approach designed to target the resources cancer cells need to grow, with the goal of improving outcomes for children with advanced and aggressive cancers.

As Dr. William Ferguson, head of Hematology and Oncology at SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital, explains:

"Most of our progress in treating cancer over the last decades has come not from giant revolutionary leaps, but from successive generations of clinical trials that have steadily built upon each other. This has allowed the cure rate for childhood cancer, once almost universally deadly, to now exceed 85%, and our goal is to see the day when every child can expect to be cured."

We're proud to be part of research that is helping move us closer to that goal. 💙

A milestone worth celebrating. Yesterday, we shared Luciana's story as the first child to receive a partial living heart transplant at SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital. Using healthy donor heart valves that can grow with her, our expert teams helped create a future with fewer surgeries and more childhood. We're proud to be among the nation's leading centers offering this life-changing innovation.

Last week, we celebrated an incredible milestone: 70 years of providing exceptional care to children and families. As part of the celebration, we brought back a special piece of Cardinal Glennon history. Decades ago, the hospital featured an ice cream parlor run by Cardinal Glennon patients and staff, creating sweet memories for kids and families. To honor our 70th anniversary, hospital leadership recreated the beloved ice cream parlor in our atrium, offering staff and visiting families a cool treat and a taste of nostalgia. It was the perfect way to celebrate seven decades of care, compassion and community. 🍦
