The SIOP Supportive Care Network aims to address global supportive care issues for children, adolescents and young adults with cancer.

Supportive care is defined as “the prevention and management of the adverse effects of cancer and its treatment, which means managing the side effects of cancer and cancer treatment. Supportive care includes management of physical and psychological symptoms and side effects,  managing psychosocial issues, across the continuum of the cancer experience from diagnosis through treatment to post-treatment care.  Supportive care aims to improve the quality of life,  secondary cancer prevention, survivorship, and end-of-life care.

SIOP Rehabilitation and Physical Medicine Special Interest Group
The SIOP Rehabilitation and Physical Medicine Special Interest Group (RPM-SIG) is on a mission to make an impact in pediatric oncology rehabilitation across the globe. In 2024, we’re launching a project aimed at building a global network and to gain a comprehensive overview of existing strategies in this field, set collaborative goals, and identify areas in need of further education and research.
Join us in shaping the future of pediatric oncology rehabilitation by participating in the first SIOP RPM-SIG survey! This initial survey is our first step to reaching out to rehab professionals around the world, as well as to understand who has the ability and desire to actively participate in this project, our subsequent projects.
