Dragana Stanić Tišma, Consultant Radiation Oncologist at Hamad Medical Corporation, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“What a pleasure it has been to take part in the 18th SIOP Asia Congress in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia!
I am honored to have been an invited speaker and co-chair of the Radiotherapy session, where I presented our work: Implementation of a Pediatric Total Body Irradiation Program – Initial Clinical Experience in Qatar.
A special thank you to two giants of pediatric radiation oncology who made the session unforgettable:
Dr. Arnold Paulino, President of the Paediatric Radiation Oncology Society (PROS) and Section Chief of Pediatric Radiation Oncology at MD Anderson Cancer Center, for his masterclass on the evidence for proton therapy in children.
Dr. Hiroshi Fuji, a pioneer of childhood proton therapy in Japan, for his insights on radiotherapy for bone metastases in neuroblastoma and for generously co-chairing the session alongside me.
Conversations like these – across borders, techniques and ideas – are how we move pediatric radiotherapy forward, together.
Thank you to the SIOP Asia organizers, my co-authors and teams at NCCCR-HMC and Sidra Medicine, and to everyone working every day to make these treatments safer for children.”
