2011 is an important year for IPSO- it is our 20th anniversary. IPSO became an independent organisation at a meeting in Rhodes in 1991, and the society has gone from strength to strength since then. We are continuing to attract new members from new countries, and IPSO is without doubt the leading global organisation addressing children's cancer surgery.
We have just had a wonderful annual meeting in Auckland, and it is now time for IPSO members to start work on their abstracts for London 2012. For members who missed Auckland, or were there and want to refresh their memory, please have a look at the password-protected members pages, which include links to nearly all the presentations. For more information about the 2011 annual conference, and other conferences past and future, please use the conferences link in the navigation bar
The next IPSO-APSA oncology symposium will be held at San Antonio, Texas, on 19 & 20 May 2012. As before this will be part of the annual APSA Congress, which continues for a further 3 days. Please use APSA 2012 website to get further details.
For The latest developments in Neuroblastoma sign up to the 4th International Tuebingen Symposium on Pediatric Solid Tumors, to be held 16-18 February 2012.

In June 2012 IPSO expect to run a paediatric surgical oncology course at the combined EUPSA/BAPS meeting in Rome, as part of the regular series of courses that have been held at EUPSA meetings over the last few years. Further information can be found on the courses link as it becomes available.
