Highlights from SIOP 2024 Congress Day 3: 24 Posts Not to Miss
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.
As always, the scientific program will cover a wide range of global pediatric oncology topics, with a particular emphasis on research from cooperative groups participating in the PARC programme. A comprehensive agenda is being developed to address global health topics and highlight updates related to the WHO Global Initiative on Childhood Cancer, where SIOP holds the distinction of being a recognized non-state actor.
The SIOP 2024 Congress is the place to hear the latest research findings in the field and to catalyse new ideas, generated by the multi-disciplinary attendance for which it is renowned. It provides a wonderful platform on which to present your own research and share knowledge and ideas. Advance your Paeditatric Oncology career, connect with like-minded people and contribute to a world where no child should die of cancer!
Here are some highlights from SIOP 2024 Congress Day 3:
“Welcome to the third day of the SIOP congress! Are you ready for science?
We are starting the day with an educational session, followed by a variety of parallel sessions – see you there!”
“Great speakers and big audience and participation!”
“BURKITT: New and ongoing partnerships to improve survival rates for children with BL in Africa.”
“𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝟯 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝟱𝟲𝘁𝗵 𝗦𝗜𝗢𝗣 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗛𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗹𝘂: 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗣𝘀𝘆𝗰𝗵𝗼-𝗢𝗻𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆.
As we wrap up the third day of the International Society of Pediatric Oncology (SIOP) Congress, I’m excited to share some highlights from today’s psycho-oncology session. This congress continues to be an incredible platform for knowledge exchange and collaboration in pediatric oncology.
Today’s session featured three outstanding interventional studies presented by talented researchers: Lamoa Baraket, Lucia Fuentes & Louisa Rygh, PhD, Samantha Bento, and Bobbie Riley.
I want to extend my heartfelt congratulations to these presenters for their invaluable contributions to the field. Their work reminds us of the critical importance of psycho-oncology in holistic cancer care.
Reflecting on these presentations, 𝗜 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗵𝗮𝘀𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝗮 𝗰𝗿𝘂𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵: 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗳𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗴𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻. It’s essential to thoroughly explain:
1. The theoretical foundations underpinning the intervention
2. The specific components of the intervention
3. The model used for both constructing and evaluating the intervention
By providing this comprehensive context, researchers not only enhance the credibility of their work but also facilitate better understanding and potential replication of successful interventions.
As we continue to advance in the field of pediatric oncology, let’s remember that robust methodology in psycho-oncological interventions is key to improving patient outcomes and quality of life.
Looking forward to the final day of SIOP 2024 tomorrow and the wealth of knowledge yet to be shared!”
