Arun Rangaswami, MD
Professor
Pediatrics
School of Medicine

I was the US National PI for the International Hepatoblastoma therapeutic trials, SIOPEL 4 and SIOPEL 6.I am currently the senior sub-PI for the Hepatocellular Carcinoma treatment arm of the Pediatric Hepatic tumors International Therapeutic Trial (PHITT). I am also the Co-chair of the Children's Hepatic tumors International Collaboration (CHIC), the largest extant database for pediatric rare tumors. I facilitate an International Hepatobiliary Multicenter Tumor Board, where we consider therapeutic strategies for children with relapsed and refractory liver cancers from around the world, with expert participants from North America, Europe, and Asia.
