Published on: 04/30/2024

Meet Logan, 8, and his journey battling a relapsed acute myeloid leukemia, which yielded groundbreaking pediatric cancer treatment results.

Nicklaus Children's Hospital is proud to have collaborated with a team of researchers at Florida International University (FIU), in developing a functional precision medicine approach targeting cancer by combining genetic testing with a new way to test individual drugs on tumor samples.

At Nicklaus Children's we believe no child should have to leave Florida to receive the life-saving treatment they deserve. The Helen & Jacob Shaham Cancer and Blood Disorders Institute at Nicklaus Children's Hospital is committed to advancing pediatric cancer treatment for all children in the state of Florida.
