Find Support Neuroblastoma Parent Education Conference Neuroblastoma Parent Global Symposium 2020 On 6-7 November 2020 the inaugural Neuroblastoma Parent Global Symposium brought together families affected by neuroblastoma from around the world with those who work to treat, help and support them. Presentations from 36 experts from Australia, North America, and Europe shared the latest information on biology, treatment, research, late effects, and psychosocial challenges surrounding a childhood cancer diagnosis. Over 750 parents, medical professionals, charity leaders, and industry representatives from 47 countries were able to view live presentations, panel sessions, and ask questions. Families worldwide now have free access to information through 25 hours of recorded sessions which all can be viewed at www.nbparentsymposium.com. International experts delivered sessions providing credible and reliable information on treatment and clinical trials, including current treatment strategies in Europe, North America and Australia, and some of the impacts of a childhood cancer diagnosis on the whole family. A prestigious Clinical Steering Committee oversaw the development of the comprehensive program, and was chaired by Daniel Morgenstern, MD. CSC members were Ami Dasai, MD, Cormac Owens, MD, Juliet Grey, MA, MB, BS, PhD, Lucas Moreno, MD, PhD, Michelle Haber, BSc, PhD, Navin Pinto, MD, Steven DuBois, MD, MS, Thorsten Simon MD, and Toby Trahair, MD.
