The institute buildings consisted of an administrative unit, laboratories, policlinics and an in-patient hospital. The Institute of Oncology (which previously had been located in a small building downtown) moved to Lomonosov Street in May 1968. Originally beds for children were placed in different departments. In 1969 Children's Department was created as a separate department and hosted 5 beds. Later the Department was enlarged and hosted 27 beds.

Also there is a guest house with family rooms for 10 beds. The Children's Department has a modernly equipped operating hall, 2 computer tomographs, MR-imager, equipment for osteoscintigraphy, expert class ultrasound apparatus , children's cysto-, gastro- and bronchoscopes. In the process of diagnostics the modern methods are used: defining oncogenes, infectious agents by means of PCR method real time, FISH-hybridization, flow cytometry, enzyme immunoassay. 

Treatment of children at the Childhood Cancer Department is conducted according to the medical programs recommended by the Ministry of Health Protection of Ukraine and developed on the basis of modern European clinical protocols.
