Dear Friends and Colleagues,

The Communities of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology in Wroclaw (PL; Prof. Dr. Krzysztof Kałwak), Dresden (D, Prof. Dr. Meinolf Suttorp) and Prague (CZ, Prof. Dr. Petr Sedláček) are welcoming You to the 12th International Midsummer Meeting on Pediatric Hematology/ Oncology and Stem Cell Transplantation.

Three difficult years have passed since we met each other in person in Karpacz, which hosted successfully participants of the 11th Midsummer Meeting in 2019. It is high time to come back to normal life despite the fact that the terrible war is so close to our borders.

This time we decided to organize the meeting in Wroclaw on 16-18.06.2023.

Wrocław is the fourth biggest city in Poland, and remains the economic, cultural and intellectual capital of Lower Silesia. Apart from the scientific programme the participants of the conference will have the opportunity to visit both the Old Town and the Supraregional Centre of Pediatric Oncology “Cape of Hope” – a part of Wroclaw University Hospital – the largest pediatric oncology and transplant centre in Poland.

The Symposium aims at the exchange of experience and knowledge as well as promotion of friendship between doctors and nurses from all neighbouring countries, incl. Germany, Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia, Baltic countries, Ukraine, Hungary etc. During the meeting both established and novel achievements in pediatric oncology, hematology and BMT will be discussed.

One of the highlights of the Meeting has always been an interactive session “Pretty kettle of Fish” with unusual case presentations and we are looking forward to taking part in this event on Saturday.

We strongly believe, that the longest days and shortest nights of the year will be filled with fruitful scientific exchange and an incendiary atmosphere of social networking events.
Welcome to Wroclaw in June 2023!


Krzysztof Kałwak, Alicja Chybicka, Meinolf Suttorp and Petr Sedlacek
