Population-based overall and net survival of childhood leukemia at 1-, 5- and 10 years in three regions of Colombia
Our study reports similar 5-year survival rates for CL in these Colombian cities compared to rates documented in other Latin American countries and larger Colombian cities. These are far below what is reported in high-income settings. This highlights opportunities for improvement in the Colombian health system, where numerous barriers persist in terms of suspicion, diagnosis and continuity of treatment for CL.
