Background

About Maite Gorostegui

I am a Pediatric Oncologist with more than fifteen years of experience treating children and adolescents affected by different cancers. Passionate about giving the best care to children and adolescents, my areas of research focus on neuroblastoma, germ cell tumors, nephroblastoma, and rare tumors. I am working at the Pediatric Cancer Center Barcelona and, I am also Chair of the SIOP Global Mapping Programme. I am collaborating as co-lead for the Group of Hereditary and Rare Tumors (Cure4kids platform) in Latin America. I am committed to improve cancer inequalities and medical education. Following these goals I joined the medical direction of the pediatric oncology platform TELEO and developed evidence-based medicine activities for my institution’s hematology/oncology fellowship program. Additionally I started working on an international project to improve cancer care at St. John of God Hospital, Lunsar (Sierra Leone) and I am coordinating an educational program for oncology awareness in low-income countries. I am a member of the Clinical Research Ethics Committee of the Fundación de Recerca Sant Joan de Déu and of the Editorial Board of Oncodaily.
