About

EXPERT (European Cooperative Study Group for Paediatric Rare Tumours) group was founded in 2008 by national groups from Italy, France, Germany, United Kingdom, and Poland. It is a network dedicated to very rare tumours with the aim to collect data on patients with VRTs in paediatric age, elaborate guidelines and promote research. Improving outcome of children and adolescents with rare tumours is possible only through international networking and profound cooperation between the different specializations.
