    Pediatric Psycho-Oncology Committee of SIOP (SIOP-PPO)

    Background

    In January 2007 The Scientific Board of the SIOP approved for the installation of a sub-committee,
    dedicated to Pediatric Psycho-Oncology research: SIOP PPO.
    In health and medical settings as well as in pediatric oncology settings, pediatric psychosocial
    clinicians (e.g. psychologists, social workers) have become vital members of multidisciplinary clinical
    and research teams, adding specialist knowledge to treatment and research of children with chronic or
    life threatening diseases. In pediatric oncology, active research is being conducted to improve
    understanding of the impact of childhood cancer on the patients' well being as well as on that of their
    family members, within a developmental perspective. In order to incorporate the findings of pediatric
    psycho-oncology into clinical practice, it is important to make psycho-oncology an active component of
    cancer treatment, counseling and rehabilitation.

    Goals & objectives

    SIOP PPOs main objective is to incorporate psychological scientific knowledge into clinical pediatric
    oncology practice and thereby improve care for children with cancer.
    1. To facilitate the exchange of research data on pediatric psycho-oncology issues among
    psycho-oncology and medical colleagues.
    2. To support the integration of these data with current psychological research, theory, and
    practice, and
    3. To encourage the active incorporation of this psychological knowledge into clinical pediatric
    oncology practice with the overall aim of improving the care for children with cancer and their
    families.
    4. To provide psycho-education and support to survivors and parents interested in updates on
    psychological issues in pediatric psycho-oncology.
