Dear Colleagues , Friends , IPSO Members

 

A Warm Welcome Aloha to Honolula Hawaii for the 33rd IPSO Meeting

 

Together with our local hosts in Honolula Hawaii – Dr Sidney Johnson , Jonathan Karpelowsky ( Programme Co-ordinator ) and the IPSO Executive have assembled for you we believe a stimulating, invigorating and exciting IPSO 2024 Congress. Highlights will include the popular – IPSO Educational Day – pre congress session event which this year features the HARMONICA renal tumour interest group presenting the recent and very latest updates in Wilms tumour which will undoubtedly generate lots of interdisciplinary discussions and debate with surgeons plus we have other exciting topics assured to fill the day here. The Daniel Hayes Surgical Symposium will feature a themed session titled – ‘ Challenges in Hepatopancreatic Oncology’.  The ‘ Best of IPSO ‘ Prize session and ‘ best poster  ‘ session will bring the latest cutting-edge research to the programme for our audience while further notable high scoring papers will all be presented in the Scientific free paper sessions.

Further highlights to report – An IPSO symposium session ‘ Overcoming Barriers in Pediatric Surgical Oncology Research ‘ will offer delegates a great opportunity to learn at first hand from oncology surgeons the ever changing landscape lived working in clinical and basic science research.  A SIOP PROS IPSO joint symposium will feature an experts session on ‘ Pediatric Thyroid Tumours ‘. Congress lectures within the main SIOP IPSO programme include ‘ Perinatal Solid Tumour Management ‘ and a timely medicopolitical talk on ‘ Centralisation of Pediatric Surgical Oncology Care.

The ‘ IPSO difficult cases session ‘ traditionally brings forward lively and constructive discussions for all and we therefore encourage and  invite you to submit any challenging interesting clinical scenarios to our IPSO Honorary Secretary Pablo Lobos.

Do not forget to secure and book your reservation for the IPSO Surgeons Dinner.

We sincerely hope that you will enjoy IPSO 2024 whilst also networking with many new and old friends at the World’s No.1 Pediatric Surgery Oncology Event in Hawaii.

Make opportunity and time to relax and explore the beautiful Hawaiian Islands

You deserve it  ! …

We look forward to meeting with you in Hawaii 2024

 

Very best wishes
