Developed through a highly-consultative, collaborative approach, the SIOP Strategy 2021-2025 describes the practical steps that SIOP and its members will take towards achieving our vision that no child should die of cancer – Cure for more, Care for all. By implementing this Strategy, SIOP will deliver on our mission to improve the lives of children and adolescents with cancer through global education, education, training, research and advocacy. Watch the 2-minute Video summary of the Strategy.
