FREE LECTURE:
  Dean's Distinguised Lecture Series - July
  - Preserving hearing in children with hepatoblastoma
		
Tue, 11 Jun 2019 12:30 - McCusker Auditorium, Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research
		
Professor Derek Roebuck
Over the last few decades there have been spectacular advances in the
treatment of hepatoblastoma, the most common malignant liver tumour of
childhood, and now most Australian children who develop this disease
will be cured. Unfortunately cure often comes at a price, and many
children develop severe hearing loss as an adverse effect of one of the
drugs used in their treatment. This lecture tells the story of the
history of treatment of hepatoblastoma, and recent successes in
preventing hearing loss in affected children.

Derek Roebuck recently moved to Perth to take up the position of
Professor of Paediatric Radiology at UWA and the Perth Children's
Hospital. He previously spent 19 years in England where he worked as a
consultant paediatric interventional radiologist and more recently Head
of Clinical Service (Radiology) at Great Ormond Street Hospital for
Children in London.
