The world's first international clinical guidelines to help prevent and treat heart complications in children undergoing cancer treatment have been created. The guidelines, published in JACC:Advances, cover cardiovascular disease assessment, screening and follow-up, for pediatric patients receiving cancer treatment with new molecular therapies, immunotherapy, chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

February 27 and March 6, 2023 The APHON Pediatric Chemotherapy/Biotherapy Provider Course is the only program that provides nurses with information about how to safely administer chemotherapy and biotherapy to children and adolescents with cancer. Upon successfully completing the course, post-test, and evaluation, participants will receive an APHON Pediatric Chemotherapy and Biotherapy Provider Card. This card validates that the participant has completed the education and demonstrated the knowledge needed to administer chemotherapy and biotherapy agents to pediatric patients.

We are excited to share that the third edition of the primary resource explicitly designed to educate new pediatric hematology/oncology nurses on caring for pediatric transplant patients is now available ! The new edition of the course provides both a self-paced independent learning experience and classroom instruction. Each module is available in PowerPoint format with presenter notes allowing nurse educators to use the content in the classroom setting.
