Hematological Malignancies Working Group
The Hematological Malignancies Working Group within the SSPHO focuses on pediatric leukemia and lymphoma, the most common childhood cancers. While substantial progress has been made, challenges persist in high-risk subgroups due to molecular heterogeneity.
General Rules
Membership:
All ordinary and extraordinary SSPHO members can participate as a member of a Working Group. Preferably, each Swiss paediatric haematology oncology center should be represented as well as Young Investigators. Also, representatives from related disciplines like surgery, pathology, radiology, radiation oncology, rehabilitation, nursing, and patient representatives should be involved. Importantly, working group members are obliged to actively participate in the group.
Meetings:
Meetings with all working group members will take place approximately every 3 months, either in person or online tool. The Chair and Vice-Chair are responsible for working group meetings. Additional meetings can be scheduled for sub-groups or projects within the working groups, where only selected members are involved.
