Maite Gorostegui Obanos

My career in oncology has been enriched by international experience, working in leading paediatric oncology centres. I am currently a member of the extracranial solid tumors team and I participate in the neuroblastoma research group. I am interested in continuing to develop in this area, with a special interest in the research into refractory tumors or relapse.

I believe in the importance of continuing education and the search for knowledge to offer the best treatment to children and adolescents with cancer. The most rewarding aspect of this challenge is the bond established with patients and their families, as well as with the entire medical team.
