Carmen Uscatu’s reflections on SIOP 2024 Congress
Carmen Uscatu, Founding Member and President at Give Life (Dăruiește Viață) NGO, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Aloha everyone.
The 56th Congress of the International Society of Paediatric Oncology – SIOP in Honolulu, Hawaii, USA, was held under the inspiring slogan:
‘No child should die of cancer: cure for more, care for all.’
A total of 2,338 people attended the congress in Honolulu, marking the event with the highest number of abstract submissions to date.
Among these submissions was a singular entry from Romania titled ‘Fragmented Hope: The Mosaic of Pediatric Cancer Care in Romania,’ (co-authors: Carlos Rodriguez-Galindo, Rob Pieters and ruxandra vidlescu) which I submitted and was accepted for online publication in the Pediatric Blood and Cancer Online Journal, the official journal of SIOP.
Many colleagues from my master’s program in global child health from St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital also presented their abstracts, and I am incredibly proud of them. It was a week filled with inspiration.
We live in an effervescent world where research and innovation bring immense hope to children with cancer and their parents, as well as to the dedicated medical teams.
See you at SIOP 2025.”
