Blakleigh: Liver Tumor
“Blakleigh’s story speaks to the need to keep fighting for better treatment options for our kids.”
— Kasi, Mother
Four-year-old Blakleigh was out of options. Her Stage 3 hepatoblastoma was proving resistant to chemotherapy, threatening her life, when her local oncologist reached out to a team of pediatric liver specialists at Nemours Children’s Hospital, Delaware, who are pioneering a treatment that targets radioactive micro-beads directly to the tumor site, while sparing surrounding healthy liver tissue.
