title: Pediatric hematology and oncology in Norway: a brief historical review.
abstract: Before World War II no real subspecialization occurred in Norweigan pediatrics. In the early 1950s hematology and oncology were adopted as fields of special interest by a few Norwegian pediatricians. Gradually an increasing expansion has taken place, particularly in pediatric oncology, in parallel with the great advances in cancer treatment.
