Holly Meany, MD, is a pediatric oncologist and director of the Solid Tumor Program at Children’s National Hospital. She also serves as an associate professor of pediatrics at George Washington University. Dr. Meany is dedicated to finding better treatments for children with cancer through research and clinical care. Her work focuses on developing new therapies for pediatric solid tumors. She designs and leads early-phase clinical trials to test promising treatments and understand how they work in children. Dr. Meany has played a key role in several national studies, including large trials for neuroblastoma, a type of childhood cancer. She recently led an international study for children with newly diagnosed non-high-risk neuroblastoma and is currently helping to develop the next high-risk neuroblastoma trial, both through the Children’s Oncology Group. Dr. Meany is also exploring innovative approaches like immunotherapy—using the body’s own immune system to fight cancer. She has led international studies using specialized T cells to treat patients with relapsed solid tumors and is now working on combining these novel T cells with CAR T-cell therapy for children with relapsed cancers. In addition to her research, Dr. Meany is passionate about training the next generation of pediatric cancer specialists. As director of the Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Fellowship Program at Children’s National, she mentors and supports future leaders in the field. Dr. Meany is highly rated in 3 conditions, according to our data.
