Translational Meetings
The Hematology/Oncology-Research Translational Meeting is a monthly gathering of clinicians who treat children with cancers and childhood cancer researchers. We started this meeting in February, 2008, with presentations from Hematologists, Oncologists, Pathologists and Researchers. Future meetings include invited speakers from other institutions who are experts on childhood cancers. The audience includes Nemours physicians, nurses, researchers and students from all four Nemours sites – Wilmington, Jacksonville, Orlando and Pensacola.
The purpose of this meeting is to share information on new developments on childhood cancers and to foster ideas to diagnose and treat childhood cancers.
