Revisions of the "Standards of Care for Children with Cancer" in Europe
In 2009, SIOP Europe prepared the ‘European Standards of care for Children with Cancer’ - a guideline document summarising the essential conditions for care delivery in paediatric oncology. Today, more than 10 years later it is time for an update.
The work to accomplish this update will be carried out by 10 groups, each assigned to a specific topic and consisting of experts, Young SIOPE members and CCI-Europe members. The project will officially be launched by the end of April 2023.
Educational activities
Just a quick reminder that you can find the upcoming ERNPaedCan and Young SIOPE webinars (and recordings of past webinars!) about the most challenging cases in paediatric oncology here.
