2024: A Year of Impact & Achievement at Shir for Life
On December 5, 2024, Shir for Life launched the inaugural International Neuroblastoma Awareness Day—a powerful moment that united more than 20 organizations across 20+ countries in a shared mission: to improve outcomes for children with neuroblastoma.
At the center of this historic day was the International Neuroblastoma Summit, a live global webinar bringing together leading neuroblastoma experts from around the world. For families, advocates, and medical professionals, it was a rare opportunity to hear directly from the people driving the future of treatment and care.
Dr. Rochelle Bagatell – Chair, COG (Children’s Oncology Group) Neuroblastoma Committee
Dr. Julie Park – Chair, NANT (New Approaches to Neuroblastoma Therapy) Consortium
Dr. Lucas Moreno Martin Retortillo – Chair, SIOPEN (European Neuroblastoma Group)
Dr. Susan Cohn – Co-chair, INRG (International Neuroblastoma Risk Group) Task Force
Moderator: Dr. Maja Beck-Popovic, Past-President of SIOPEN
Together, these experts offered a critical global perspective on neuroblastoma research, emerging clinical trials, and what’s ahead for treatment worldwide.
