Pediatric Surgical Oncology Research Collaborative (PSORC): Studying Rare Pediatric Tumors

Topic overview

The Pediatric Surgical Oncology Research Collaborative (PSORC) addresses the challenge of studying rare pediatric tumors by pooling resources across multiple institutions. Dr. Sophia Schermerhorn from Cincinnati Children's explains how PSORC brings together researchers and pediatric surgeons from over 60 North American institutions to improve surgical care for pediatric and adolescent cancer patients. This collaborative approach enables larger, high-quality studies that would be impossible for single centers to conduct, leading to advancements in pediatric oncology.

Intended audience: Healthcare professionals and clinicians.
