Discuss new oncology drugs for children at Paediatric Clinical Trials this March
"Childhood and adolescent cancers remain a major cause of morbidity, mortality and social concern in Europe with 3000 children and adolescents dying of cancer each year… Fresh approaches to the many complex aspects of treating childhood cancers are urgently needed, including faster introduction of new medicines for children.
- (1888PressRelease) March 07, 2016 - SMi Group reports: Sabine Fuerst-Recktenwald, Senior Medical Director Paediatric Oncology, Roche Pharmaceuticals will be presenting on: "Challenges in paediatric drug development: new oncology drugs for children" at the SMi's 10th annual Paediatric Clinical Trials event (16-17 March 2016, London, UK).
In the run-up to the event, SMi Group has caught up with Sabine to find out her thoughts about the current industry issues. Here is what she thinks is the take home message from her presentation:

Collaboration of all stakeholder (industry, academia, regulators, patients) will be a key".
