A breaking story is one that is urgent and merits immediate attention. Breaking stories are often the subject of television and radio news coverage. Until the advent of 24-hour news networks, programming was interrupted to report on breaking stories, but a special ticker or cut-in during regular programming could also be used to convey a particularly urgent story such as a tornado warning.
Recognizing that some high impact clinical research may not be available by the general abstract submission deadline, SIOP offers the opportunity to highlight such work in a dedicated late-breaking session. The selection process for this session will be highly competitive.
Selected abstracts will be presented as a paper poster at the congress or via ePoster, depending on the review outcome. Authors of an accepted late-breaking abstract wishing to present in an oral session will need to register and attend the conference.
A limited number of late-breaking abstracts will be selected for oral presentation during the late-breaking session on Friday, 13 October 2023) as well as for inclusion in the MSMilan2023 Congress ePoster and print supplement. To be eligible for inclusion, late-breaking abstracts must contain data that is novel and does not contain information already presented at a national meeting within the US or published in any online or PubMed indexed venue at the time of submission. Membership in SRI is not a requirement for participation in this program.
