Paediatric oncology

Given childhood cancers’ unique set of challenges and existing successful cross-border, multidisciplinary and international research, our recommendations in this area can be summarized as follows:

• Support of paediatric cancer projects by investment in research and innovation to specifically combat childhood cancer and reduce disparities.
• Invest in an integrated programme of research to realize the seven key objectives of the SIOPE strategic plan:
  • Innovative therapies
  • Precision medicine in health care
  • Increase biology knowledge of paediatric tumours
  • Increase equal access to standard care, expertise and clinical research
  • Address the needs of teenagers and young adults
  • Improve the quality of survivorship
  • Understanding the causes of paediatric cancers and addressing prevention where possible.
