This study aimed to analyze the scientific production carried out at the Pediatric Cancer Center (CPC) of the Albert Sabin Children's Hospital, searching in the Google Scholar, Pubmed, SciELO and LILACS databases and performing manual review of bibliographies of authors of found works. Approximately 400 records were found in Google Scholar, 9 records in the Pubmed database, 2 records in the SciELO database and 3 records in the LILACS database, in addition to 19 more works added manually. After eliminating duplicates and non-conformities,89 records of scientific productions carried out at the CPC remained. Bibliometric evaluation showed that these productions were cited together 569 times, with 89 citations occurring in 2022. Most of the scientific productions were published in peer-reviewed journals, followed by master's dissertations and doctoral theses. Most of the works were published in Portuguese, followed by English. The thematic analysis of the works showed that most of them addressed topics related to pediatric oncology, followed by works on palliative care and quality of life in children and adolescents with cancer. Most of the works were carried out in partnership with other institutions.
