This Week in Pediatric Oncology
Science
June 16, 2011
Host Dr. Tim Cripe of "This Week in
Pediatric Oncology" podcast interviews Dr. Peter Adamson, new Chair of the
Children's Oncology Group (COG). Co-hosts for this episode are Dr. Jim Geller, Dr. Raj Nagarajan, and Dr. Lionel
Chow. This conversation includes Dr. Adamson's background and interest in pediatric
oncology, and openly addresses the much-needed advances in drug development for
pediatric tumors that are distinct from adult tumors. On the heels of the
remarkable ch14.18 development story in neuroblastoma, Dr. Adamson explains the need for a
"virtual" drug company that consists of a public-private partnership
to develop drugs in a similar narrow venue, which is underway.
