We are honoured that the Historic Istanbul University Rectorate Gate will lit up in gold on 26 September 2023, bringing major visibility to the persistent burden of childhood cancer – an important signal that children and adolescents with cancer should remain an important priority on the national and international agenda. We extend our deepest gratitude to the rector of the Istanbul University, Prof. Dr. Bülent Zülfikar and Prof. Dr. Rejin Kebudi, Pediatric Hematologist-Oncologist, Istanbul University, Oncology Imstitute & General Secretary Elect of SIOP, for supporting the institutional endorsement of this year’s campaign.
