PBMTC-ASPHO 2014: NEW FRONTIERS IN PEDIATRIC STEM CELL TRANSPLANTATION

 描述(申请人提供)：造血干细胞移植(SCT)治疗儿童和青春期的许多恶性和非恶性疾病。接受SCT的儿童人数持续增长；因此，有必要增加对这一领域感兴趣的医生、科学家和相关卫生专业人员的数量。致力于儿科SCT的会议是一个独特的机会，可以让专家和多学科的与会者讨论该领域的最新临床和研究进展。 2015年儿科干细胞移植新前沿会议是儿科骨髓移植联盟和美国儿科血液肿瘤学会为解决与儿科SCT有关的问题而举办的第三次合作会议。我们在2013年和2014年的前两次会议都非常成功和受欢迎。2015年会议将于2015年5月6日在亚利桑那州凤凰城举行。会议的目的是传播儿科SCT的最新研究和最佳临床实践，为下一代儿科SCT医生和科学家提供指导和网络论坛，并促进移植提供者和非移植的儿科血液学/肿瘤学家之间的合作。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (SCT) is curative for many malignant and nonmalignant diseases of childhood and adolescence. The number of children undergoing SCT continues to grow; thus there is a need to increase the number of physicians, scientists and allied health professionals interested in this field. A conference dedicated to pediatric SCT is a unique opportunity to bring experts and multidisciplinary attendees to discuss the latest clinical and research developments in this field. The 2015 New Frontiers in Pediatric Stem Cell Transplantation meeting is the third presentation of a collaborative meeting between the Pediatric Bone Marrow Transplant Consortium and the American Society for Pediatric Hematology Oncology to address issues pertaining pediatric SCT. Our previous two conferences in 2013 and 2014 have been very successful and popular. The 2015 meeting will be held on May 6, 2015 in Phoenix Arizona. The objectives of the meeting are to disseminate the latest research and best clinical practices in pediatric SCT, provide a mentoring and networking forum for the next generation of pediatric SCT physicians & scientists, and to foster collaborations between transplant providers and non-transplant pediatric hematology/oncologists.
