Lymph nodes are part of the immune system and help fight infection. However, sometimes they can get swollen when fighting infection or due to cancer. In these cases, lymph node removal surgery may be needed. See what to expect from neck lymph node surgery and recovery in this video.

CEDAR Project
The SIOP Education and Training Committee is glad to announce the launch of the “Childhood Cancer Early Diagnosis and Appropriate Referral (CEDAR) project”, in collaboration with the International Pediatric Association (IPA). The main objective of the CEDAR Project is to improve the knowledge and understanding of general health care providers, including paediatricians, family practitioners, and community nurses, involved in the initial care, diagnostic workup, and referral of paediatric patients suspected of having cancer.

Practical Advice in monthly webinars
By providing practical advice from oncology experts from around the world, we aim to improve the outcomes of children with cancer in resource-limited settings where delayed diagnosis, misdiagnosis, and underdiagnosis significantly impact cancer-related morbidity and mortality. In the first phase of the CEDAR project, SIOP and IPA are organizing a series of monthly webinars (September 2022 to March 2023) to highlight the importance of early diagnosis, with a focus on the six WHO index cancers (acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, Hodgkin lymphoma, Burkitt’s lymphoma, Wilms tumour, retinoblastoma, and low-grade glioma). There will also be a discussion session with an international expert panel in each of these webinars.

At age 16, Greg Aune was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and was successfully cured of his disease after undergoing one year of chemotherapy and radiation treatments. His cancer experience led Dr. Aune down a path to becoming a pediatric oncologist and physician scientist.

In this video, Dr. Aune discusses issues of long-term survivorship care and care planning as part of the NCCS Cancer Policy Matters "20 Years Later" special blog series marking the 20th anniversary of the "Imperatives for Quality Cancer Care." The sixth principle of the Imperatives states, “People with histories of cancer have the right to continued medical follow-up with basic standards of care that include the specific needs of long-term survivors.” Read more at www.cancerpolicymatters.org
