Institut d’Hématologie et d’Oncologie Pédiatrique

Can hope blossom amidst the sterile scent of a hospital? Here at the Institut d’Hématologie et d’Oncologie Pédiatrique, known as IHOPe, it does. This specialized hospital, established in 2008, is a beacon of hope for children and adolescents battling cancer and blood diseases. IHOPe isn’t just a building. It’s a testament to collaboration, born from the union of the Hospices Civils de Lyon’s pediatric department and the hematology department of Debrousse Hospital. The Institut d’Hématologie et d’Oncologie Pédiatrique represents a shared vision between two powerhouses: the Hospices Civils de Lyon and the Centre Léon Bérard, a regional cancer center. IHOPe focuses on providing the best possible care and conducting cutting-edge research. The Institut d’Hématologie et d’Oncologie Pédiatrique treats a range of complex conditions. These include leukemia, Hodgkin’s disease, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, brain tumors, and various solid tumors. IHOPe’s arsenal includes the most advanced treatments available. This encompasses chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery, and both allo- and auto-hematologic transplants. Beyond the medical procedures, the Institut d’Hématologie et d’Oncologie Pédiatrique recognizes the importance of holistic care. They offer specialized support services tailored to young patients, including pain management, nutritional assistance, and psychological support for both patients and their families. IHOPe is more than just a hospital. It’s a symbol of hope, a place where cutting-edge medicine and compassionate care converge to fight for the future of young lives.
