2011 POGO Symposium on Childhood Cancer

Posted on February 1, 2013 by admin

The 2011 POGO Multi-Disciplinary Symposium on Childhood Cancer – Unraveling the Mysteries of Transplantation – examined clinical and scientific advances in pediatric stem cell transplantation as treatment for various types of cancers.  It focused on the medical and psychosocial impacts of this intensive intervention on patients, families, donors and survivors, and examined important ethical issues.  A multi-disciplinary audience of over 270 healthcare professionals attended. Learning objectives included:

  • Recognize and examine critical milestones in the evolution of pediatric stem cell transplantation.
  • Identify and manage clinical complications affecting pediatric stem cell transplant patients.
  • Recognize and mitigate psychosocial effects of transplant on patients, families, donors and survivors.
  • Identify and evaluate ethical issues relating to pediatric stem cell transplantation.
  • Demonstrate improved communication skills to promote co-operative integrated management of pediatric stem cell transplant patients.

The Evolution of Pediatric Stem Cell Transplantation

Posted on February 1, 2013 by admin

Presentation Description: The field of haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (SCT) had its firm beginnings in paediatrcis with the first successful bone marrow transplant being performed in 1968 on a child with severe combined immune deficiency.  Today more than 15,000 allogeneneic SCTs are performed worldwide with around one quarter of those occurring in children suffering from a wide variety of malignant and genetic disorders.  There is no doubt that SCT represents one of the most innovative treatments of the last decades, and while the principles of SCT have remained the same, dramatic changes in the details of SCT over the last forty years have led to significant improvements in the outcome.  While many children are now cured from otherwise fatal disorders, much work is still required to reduce both acute toxicities, and specifically in children, the long-term side effects of these procedures.

Cord Blood Banking and Transplantation

Posted on February 1, 2013 by admin

Presentation Description:  The blood retained in the placenta after birth, cord blood, is a rich source of young blood-making stem cells which have been shown to be an excellent option for transplantation in children/young adults who do not have a sibling match.  This talk highlighted the key steps in the journey from birth of the cord blood donor to use in transplantation.

This presentation provided an overview of the biology of cord blood, issues related to cord blood banking – both private and public, and the use of cord blood as an alternative donor source in pediatric transplantation.

Speaker:

Donna Wall, MD
Director
Manitoba Blood and Marrow Transplant Program, Winnipeg, MB
