The 2017 POGO Multi-Disciplinary Symposium on Childhood Cancer – Cancer in Infancy: Tiny Patients, Huge Challenges – will examine clinical and scientific advances in cancer in infancy and the associated physical, psychosocial and medical issues, as well as focus on relevant resources, tools and strategies for a multidisciplinary audience.
Pediatric oncologists, nurses, social workers, and other health care professionals will enhance their knowledge of cancer in infancy through a series of plenary lectures, interactive workshops, poster presentations and display, and ‘meet-the-expert’ sessions. The teaching faculty include nationally and internationally recognized experts across a broad range of disciplines. The overarching goal will be for participants to be able to apply what they have learned to their day-to-day practice of pediatric oncology as it applies to infants with cancer, as well as to generate novel questions to be explored in a research setting within their respective disciplines.
