Recommendations for screening, including for Wilms tumor, will also be covered. Dr Kalish and the CHOP team will share information about the next steps for research and how IWSA families can participate. During the meeting, there will be opportunities for attendees to ask questions and engage in discussion with the research team. The team will also be available during the weekend to meet with families attending the event in person.
