Insights from SIOP 2024 Day 1

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!
