SIOPE – MAC (MEPs Against Cancer) Event

Celebrating 20 years of progress in paediatric haemato-oncology in Europe 

Since 1998, SIOP Europe has been working with all stakeholders at the European level to achieve more and better cures for paediatric cancers. EU projects and dialogue with policy makers have been instrumental to make strides in a number of key areas for paediatric haemato-oncology such as innovation in paediatric medicine and equal access through the European Reference Networks (ERN PaedCan).
This year, SIOP Europe is marking 20 years of progress and efforts towards a brighter future for children and young people with cancer during the Childhood Cancer Awareness Month of September.
