  Karen Marcus, MD

  Dana Farber

This will be a joint PROS/ASTRO panel involving two speakers discussing the North American approach to Rhabdomyosarcoma and Hodgkin Lymphoma and two speakers discussing the European approach to these pediatric malignancies. The approaches differ specifically the use of radiotherapy. The trials leading up to the current approaches and the outcomes of prior trials will be discussed. The session was presented at the 2017 National Meeting, the scores were outstanding. Unfortunately as the panel was scheduled near the end of the meeting, the attendance was poor. We hope that the panel can be scheduled earlier in the meeting

• Recognize the different indications for radiotherapy in children with Hodgkin lymphoma between North America and Europe.
