John Matthew Falletta
Professor Emeritus of Pediatrics
The goal of our ongoing research is to determine optimum care for children with all types of cancer. The research mechanism involves participation in the Pediatric Oncology Group. These activities involve studies of the epidemiology and tumor biology of selected neoplasms and the natural history and optimum multimodal therapy of all childhood malignancies.
