With great sadness, the Latin American Society of Pediatric Oncology shares the death of Dr. Simone Dos Santos Aguiar, delegate of Brazil and member of international SLAOP relations. Our deepest sympathy goes out to her friends and family.

“I HAVE REASONS TO MISS YOU, OF OUR COEXISTENCE IN SPEECHES OF COMRADERY, SIMPLE HANDSHAKE, NOT EVEN THAT, VOICE MODULATING KNOWN AND BANAL SYLLABLES WHICH WERE ALWAYS CERTAINTY AND SECURITY. YES, I MISS HER.” Carlos Drummond de Andrade

SLAOP appreciates the years of dedication and teaching. We will continue to respect and admire her history and contribution to pediatric oncology.
