SIOP is proud to unveil the 2026 SIOP Almanac of Women Leaders in Paediatric Oncology—a powerful celebration of the vision, leadership, and global impact of women shaping the future of childhood cancer care.

This year’s edition highlights inspiring leaders from across the world, representing diverse disciplines, backgrounds, and perspectives. Through their stories, the Almanac showcases the resilience, innovation, and collaboration driving progress in paediatric oncology today.

Each profile offers a unique glimpse into the journeys of remarkable women who are advancing care, research, and advocacy—while mentoring the next generation and building more inclusive systems for children with cancer everywhere.

At a time when global health systems face increasing complexity, the voices and leadership of women are more essential than ever. This Almanac not only celebrates individual achievements, but also reflects a growing movement toward equity, inclusion, and shared leadership across our field.

We invite you to explore the stories, be inspired, and join us in supporting the continued rise of women leaders in paediatric oncology:
