Guillermo Chantada: Many lives were saved thanks a project which has now evolved into the ARIA guide
Guillermo Chantada shared a post by CANCaRe Africa on LinkedIn, adding:
”The International Society of Paediatric Oncology (SIOP) started the project for adapted treatment guidelines about 15 years ago. At that time, what it is now well-accepted in the pediatric oncology community that not all treatments proposed in high income countries would yield to similar results in low and middle income settings, was an extremely innovative and provocative idea. Trijn Israels lead this project back then and now we see its deep impact worldwide. Many lives were saved thanks to this project which has now evolved into the ARIA guide in association with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Global, IPSO, PROS and Childhood Cancer International.”
Quoting CANCaRe Africa’s post:

We invite you to watch this video with Guillermo Chantada and Trijn Israels, pioneers and first co-chairs of the collaborative international initiative from SIOP Global Health Network (formally called SIOP PODC) providing recommendations to adapt treatment of common and curable childhood cancers to local conditions.
