The Société Internationale d'Oncologie Pédiatrique [International Society of Paediatric Oncology] (SIOP), founded in 1969, aims to improve the lives of children and adolescents with cancer through global collaboration, education, training, research and advocacy. The annual congress provides the opportunity to share late-breaking research, clinical experiences and debate, with experts worldwide. SIOP's six Continental Branches represent their constituent members in North America, Oceania, Latin America, Africa, Europe and Asia and bring best practices and recent research findings of value to their specific patient populations. In 1990, the SIOP Board of Directors addressed the formerly predominantly European/North American society transforming into a global association by establishing a scholarship program to bring low- and middle-income country (LMIC) paediatric oncologists and nurses to SIOP meetings. A major achievement was SIOP's acceptance as a World Health Organisation (WHO) non-state actor in official relations in 2018, joining 220 non-governmental organisations, international business associations and philanthropic foundations with this privilege. SIOP supports advocacy with WHO member states and civil society to highlight the specific needs of cancer in this age-group through key programs especially supporting the WHO Global Initiative for Childhood Cancer. Sustained improvement in childhood cancer outcomes has paralleled the integration of research with care; thus, SIOP launched a Programme for Advancing Research Capacity for funding selected clinical trial groups in LMICs. SIOP supports south-south partnerships, and the principles elegantly expressed in SIOP Africa's checklist for co-branding projects, that include the prioritisation of local needs, cultivation of local expertise and commitment to equitable partnerships. SIOP now counts approximately 3,000 members from over 128 countries; 39% are from more than 60 LMICs. SIOP members have multidisciplinary expertise on all aspects of childhood cancer care working in collaboration with key stakeholders including governments, civil society organisations and funders to improve the lives of children/adolescents with cancer everywhere in all ways.
国际儿科肿瘤学会（SIOP）成立于1969年，旨在通过全球合作、教育、培训、研究和宣传来改善患癌儿童和青少年的生活。年会为与全球专家分享最新研究成果、临床经验以及进行辩论提供了机会。SIOP的六个大陆分会代表其在北美、大洋洲、拉丁美洲、非洲、欧洲和亚洲的成员，并将最佳实践和有价值的最新研究成果带给各自特定的患者群体。1990年，SIOP董事会通过设立一项奖学金计划，使低收入和中等收入国家（LMIC）的儿科肿瘤学家和护士能够参加SIOP会议，从而使这个以前主要是欧洲/北美的学会转变为一个全球性协会。一项重大成就是SIOP在2018年被接纳为世界卫生组织（WHO）具有官方关系的非国家行为体，与220个享有此特权的非政府组织、国际商业协会和慈善基金会一道。SIOP支持与WHO成员国和民间社会进行宣传，通过关键项目，特别是支持WHO全球儿童癌症倡议，来突出这个年龄组癌症患者的特殊需求。儿童癌症治疗效果的持续改善与研究和护理的整合并行；因此，SIOP发起了一项提高研究能力计划，为LMICs中选定的临床试验小组提供资金。SIOP支持南南伙伴关系，以及SIOP非洲共同品牌项目清单中优雅表达的原则，其中包括优先考虑当地需求、培养当地专业知识以及致力于公平伙伴关系。SIOP目前有来自128个以上国家的约3000名成员；39%来自60多个LMICs。SIOP成员在儿童癌症护理的各个方面拥有多学科专业知识，与包括政府、民间社会组织和资助者在内的关键利益相关者合作，全方位改善各地患癌儿童/青少年的生活。
