Clinical Vignettes: Inaugural International Congress on Pediatric Oncology is organized by Physicians' Education Resource, LLC (PER).
Release Date: February 28, 2023
Expiration Date: February 28, 2024.
Description:
Care of pediatric patients with solid tumors and hematologic malignancies is rapidly evolving. The field has experienced chemotherapeutic, immunotherapeutic, and targeted treatment advances that have altered the landscape and expanded the treatment armamentarium for pediatric patients. Opportunities to improve the care of pediatric and adolescent/young adult (AYA) patients with cancer have emerged with the development of novel techniques to detect and characterize tumors.
This Clinical Case Vignette Series™ program provides an in-depth review of some of the key highlights from the Inaugural International Congress on Pediatric Oncology held in December 2022. This unique and engaging multimedia activity consists of expert interviews on challenging clinical cases and other topics important to the practicing clinician. These experts explore different clinical vignettes, provide evidence-based strategies, and discuss current clinical data that are changing outcomes for pediatric patients with cancer. This program is designed for those who did not attend the live meeting and to help reinforce learnings for those who did.
