Venkatraman Radhakrishnan’s highlights from SIOP 2024 Day 2 and 3
The 56th Congress of the ‘Societe Internationale d’Oncologie Pediatrique’ (SIOP) is being held from October 17-20, 2024 in Honolulu, Hawaii, US.
The SIOP 2024 annual congress in Hawaii represents an exciting milestone for the organization. Hosting the event in the United States offers an excellent opportunity to receive valuable contributions from North American colleagues and institutions, including the Children’s Oncology Group. Additionally, the congress’s proximity to South-East Asia and Oceania is expected to enrich the event with the expertise and perspectives from these dynamic regions. Attendees will also have the chance to experience the unique charm of Hawaii as a host destination.
Participants are expecting a comprehensive program that is featuring keynote addresses, interactive workshops, and panel discussions focused on the latest advancements in pediatric oncology. The event is also providing ample networking opportunities, allowing attendees to connect with peers and share valuable insights that could influence the future of cancer care for children.
