Abstract

Summary: The 5th International Symposium on Childhood, Adolescent and Young Adult (CAYA) Non‐Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) was held in Varese, Italy, from 21–25 October 2015. This review represents a summary of the scientific sessions of this international symposium including childhood, adolescent and young adult (AYA) NHL in countries with limited socio‐economic resources, AYA NHL, anaplastic large cell lymphoma, post‐transplant lymphoproliferative disease, B‐cell NHL, lymphoblastic lymphoma, T/natural killer cell NHL and immunological therapies in NHL. Most importantly, the new International Paediatric NHL Staging System (IPNHLSS) and International Paediatric NHL Response Criteria (IPNHLRC) were introduced during the symposium. The symposium brought together a multinational and multidisciplinary group of clinicians and basic scientists focused in this field of haematological malignancies.
