Oncology and Hematology

Oncology and Hematology addresses the diagnosis, multidisciplinary treatment and survivorship of blood disorders and childhood cancers. This session is tailored for pediatric oncologists, hematologists, radiation oncologists, oncology nurses, pharmacists and survivorship specialists. Sessions will cover precision diagnostics (tumor genomics and minimal residual disease monitoring), risk-adapted chemotherapeutic strategies, advances in targeted therapies and immunotherapies for paediatric malignancies, and supportive-care innovations that reduce treatment toxicity. Workshops in Pediatric Oncology Event will include transfusion safety, febrile neutropenia pathways, and integration of palliative care throughout the disease trajectory. Panels on survivorship will detail long-term follow-up frameworks, late-effects screening and psycho-social rehabilitation to enhance quality of life for survivors.

Key Topics Covered

Precision Diagnosis & Molecular Oncology

  • Tumor genomic profiling, liquid biopsies and MRD monitoring techniques
  • Molecular tumour boards and personalized therapy decision-making

Systemic Therapies & Immunotherapy

  • Risk-adapted chemotherapy protocols and toxicity mitigation strategies
  • CAR-T, checkpoint inhibitors and emerging immunotherapies in children

Supportive & Acute Care

  • Febrile neutropenia management bundles and transfusion safety protocols
  • Nutrition, infection prophylaxis and mucositis prevention approaches

Survivorship & Long-Term Follow-Up

  • Late-effects surveillance guidelines and endocrine/cardiac screening plans
  • Psychosocial supports, school reintegration and vocational transition resources

Clinical Impact & Practical Takeaways

Faster Targeted Treatment
Molecular diagnostics and MRD surveillance allow earlier application of targeted therapies and decrease overtreatment.

Better Toxicity Management
Supportive-care bundles minimise complications and preserve treatment intensity when safe.

Enhanced Survivorship Care
Systematised follow-up identifies late effects early, enabling interventions that improve long-term health.

Integrated Palliative Support
Early palliative integration improves symptom control, family communication and care planning.
