This September, we're inviting you to join us - healthcare professionals, survivors, families, advocates, organisations and supporters everywhere - in a coordinated, worldwide movement for childhood cancer awareness. Together, let's make gold impossible to ignore. Every September, our global childhood cancer community comes together to recognise Gold September, the international awareness month for childhood cancer. [...]

The Advocacy Committee (SAC) of the International Society of Paediatric Oncology (SIOP) sets the strategic direction for the organization’s policy and advocacy work across regional, national, and global levels, partnering closely with the SIOP Board of Directors and key stakeholders such as the World Health Organization. Advocacy sits at the heart of SIOP’s vision—“No child should die of cancer: cure for more, care for all”—and to advance this mission, SIOP is now seeking nominations for one Advocacy Committee member to represent the Latin America region (SLAOP) in shaping its global advocacy agenda for children and adolescents with cancer.

SIOP Europe (SIOPE) and the European School of Oncology (ESO) are inviting applications for the Clinical Training Centres Paediatric Fellowship Programme, an opportunity for early-career paediatric haematologists and oncologists to complete hands-on clinical training at some of Europe’s leading childhood cancer centres.

We are pleased to invite you to the upcoming educational webinar:

The International Society of Paediatric Oncology (SIOP) is a founding member of the newly formed Global Alliance for Cancer Patient Navigation, an initiative convened by the American Cancer Society to make patient navigation a standard, sustainable part of cancer care worldwide. The Alliance’s first major output, a commentary titled “Patient navigation as a core component of global cancer care—A call to action from the Global Alliance for Cancer Patient Navigation,” was published in the journal Cancer in 2026, with SIOP’s Courtney E. Sullivan among the co-authors representing the Society.
