The Pediatric and Adolescent Solid Tumor Steering Committee (PASTSC) addresses the design, prioritization, and evaluation of concepts for large clinical trials in extracranial solid tumors of children and youth. Committee activities help foster collaboration between groups and institutions engaged in conducting trials. The PASTSC's membership comprises Children's Oncology Group (COG) representatives, community oncologists, biostatisticians, patient advocates, subject matter experts, and NCI staff.
