In a post by AIEOP on Linkedin, it says, “HOT OFF THE PRESS –  Pediatric oncology: the right to be forgotten with a team effort by AIEOP and FIAGOP.

Il Sole 24 Ore discusses “the right to be forgotten in pediatric cancer is no longer a pipe dream. In Italy, for the nearly 50,000 young people who have recovered from cancer diagnosed in childhood, the discrimination suffered due to bureaucracy in accessing services such as obtaining mortgages, taking out life insurance, applying for a job and adopting a child.

The twenty-year battle undertaken jointly by AIEOP and FIAGOP the specificities of pediatric hematology-oncology patients and former patients on the subject of the right to be forgotten.

‘As a reference association, we considered it essential to address this disparity – declares the president of AIEOP, Arcangelo Prete – and to promote legislation that takes into account the specificities of pediatric patients. This difference from adults takes into account the particular. challenges that young patients have to face throughout their lives, guaranteeing them the possibility of starting the path to normality without the burden of the this past.'”
