Shushan Hovsepyan, Editor-in-Chief of OncoDaily Medical Journal and Co-Chair of the International Society of Pediatric Oncology Global Health Network Research and Innovation Working Group, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Just a few hours earlier, I was on a plane from ESMO 2025, Berlin – and now I am standing on the International Society of Paediatric Oncology – SIOP stage in Amsterdam, with my story on the big screen.
It was a great honor and pleasure for me to receive the Young SIOP Rising Star 2025 Award! This was truly an unforgettable experience, standing in that huge theatre auditorium and sharing my short but long story.
I come from a small city, Gyumri, Armenia. We may be small, but we have produced world champions. Growing up in that environment, in the spirit of fighting, striving, and never giving up is in my character because of that.
Four years ago, I attended my first SIOP Annual Meeting in Barcelona. I was in the audience watching people present, share their data, their stories…
I remember thinking, one day I should be up there… And now I am!
Thank you, SIOP, for giving me this opportunity!
And this moment was not about me, but about the people who encountered me along the way and always supported me in different ways.”
