It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 10th International Tübingen Symposium on Pediatric Solid Tumors, entitled „Pediatric Liver Tumors: Translational Advances and Cutting-Edge Management.“ In this anniversary year, we are particularly honored to host the symposium jointly with the SIOPEL Autumn Meeting 2026. As in previous years, we are delighted to welcome physicians and scientists from around the world to Tübingen, continuing a tradition of international exchange and interdisciplinary collaboration.
Pediatric liver tumors represent a fascinating and rapidly evolving field within pediatric oncology and surgery. Over the past decades, major advances in molecular biology, imaging, surgical techniques, and systemic therapies have significantly improved outcomes for many children. At the same time, important challenges remain, including refining risk stratification, deepening our understanding of tumor biology, and further advancing individualized and multimodal treatment approaches. Progress in this field relies on the close interaction between pediatric oncologists, surgeons, radiologists, pathologists, and basic scientists, as well as on strong international networks and collaborative research initiatives.
In keeping with the tradition of this meeting, leading international experts in pediatric oncology, surgery, radiology, pathology, radiation oncology, and tumor biology will contribute to the scientific program. Their insights will ensure a stimulating and high-level exchange of ideas and perspectives. Over the years, the Tübingen Symposium on Pediatric Solid Tumors has developed into a recognized international forum characterized not only by scientific excellence and interdisciplinary dialogue, but also by its open and collegial atmosphere.
We look forward to welcoming you to Tübingen for an inspiring meeting, lively discussions, and new perspectives that will help shape the future of research and clinical care in pediatric liver tumors.
