Conferences and symposiums Better Cure and Care - Childhood Cancer Research Symposium 2025
26-09-2025 2:00 pm Add to iCal
On 25-26 September 2025, Department of Women's and Children's Health's division for Pediatric Oncology and Pediatric Surgery will host a scientific symposium on Childhood Cancer in conjunction with our 30-year anniversary since our division was established.
The symposium will have a broad focus on childhood cancer, highlighting the success of treating childhood cancer, but also more importantly, the remaining challenges. Social events for all delegates to encourage participation and networking will also be part of the program. Overall, we believe that the symposium will be an important event to demonstrate the progress of childhood cancer over the last 30 years, but that will also strengthen and build networks across disciplines and institutions in Sweden.
