Dr. Lee Helman, the Director of the Pediatric Oncology Branch of the National Cancer Institute, and Dr. Alberto Pappo, Pediatric Oncologist of Texas Children’s Cancer Center, discuss a new initiative for pediatric GIST patients. This webcast gives you an opportunity to learn about a new NIH-based clinic scheduled for June 19, 2008. Doctors for the first time in history will come together to explore pediatric GIST hands on in hopes of discovering viable treatment options for these patients. Logistics about the event will be discussed by Dr. Helman. Dr. Pappo will present and discuss valuable information about the genetic and clinical elements of pediatric GIST. We are honored to have Ashley Young and Jacqui Bromberg, Life Raft Group pediatric GISTers and Co-chairs for the NIH Clinic Planning Committee, moderating this session (Note: Jacqui was unable to moderate this session but we want to thank her for her continuing dedication in planning the NIH clinic).
