The St. Jude-VIVA Forum in Paediatric Oncology (SJVF) is a groundbreaking collaboration between St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and the VIVA Foundation for Children with Cancer. Since its inception, SJVF has evolved into a comprehensive platform for knowledge sharing, networking, and collaboration among paediatric oncology professionals in Asia.

The Main Forum comprises a 2 day event of keynote lectures and interactive discussions with world-class experts, covering a broad range of topics and varying depths of scope of practices. Over the years, SJVF has also expanded to include subspecialty meetings, such as the St. Jude-VIVA Paediatric Surgical Oncology Symposium, St. Jude-VIVA Paediatric Pathology Symposium, VIVA-Asia Blood and Marrow Transplant Spring School, and the VIVA Asia Nursing Symposium. These platforms have brought together world and regional leaders to share their expertise and bridge the gap between developed and developing countries, as well as foster strong clinical and research networks and collaborations across pediatric oncology healthcare personnel.

We are proud to announce the 19th St. Jude-VIVA Forum, taking place in hybrid format from 27 February to 2 March 2025. This year's forum features renowned world speakers in Liquid Tumour, focusing on leukemias, immunotherapy, and hematopoetic stem-cell transplantation on 1st March 2025, and Solid Tumour, focusing on Central Nervous System Tumours on 2nd March 2025.

Venue: [To be announced soon]
Date: Thursday - Sunday; 27 February - 2 March 2025

The event promises to be a rich learning experience, with opportunities for collaboration and networking among scientists, doctors, nurses, and allied health professionals from around the world.

As we continue to grow and learn together, our ultimate goal remains unchanged: to provide better medical care and improve the chances of cure, survival, and post-treatment quality of life for children with cancer, regardless of geography and background.

We would like to invite you to be part of our efforts to ensure that no child dies in their dawn of life. Please do join us at the 19th St. Jude-VIVA Forum, where we will harness our collective expertise to shape the future of paediatric oncology care.
