Webinar Description

Children with cancer, and their clinicians, face a unique spectrum of challenges. Differences in diagnosis, biology, treatment toxicity, and impact on social development require focused teams of researchers, healthcare providers, psychologist, and social workers. Novel diagnostic and treatment paradigms require intricate systems for data interpretation and therapy delivery, but come with a hope of improved survival and quality of life.
