Childhood Cancer Early Diagnosis and Appropriate Referral: An Educational Initiative of the International Society of Paediatric Oncology (SIOP), in Collaboration With International Pediatric Association
A long pre-diagnostic interval is reported to be a significant challenge in childhood cancer, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) where advanced-stage disease at diagnosis results in poor survival. The International Society of Paediatric Oncology and the International Pediatric Association launched the "Childhood Cancer Early Diagnosis and Appropriate Referral (CEDAR)" project in 2022 as educational webinars on the six index childhood cancers of the World Health Organization Global Initiative for Childhood Cancer to improve awareness of healthcare providers (HCP). Pediatricians, family practitioners, and community nurses involved in diagnostic workups and patient referrals participated (n = 2737). Webinar attendance indicated strong HCP global engagement overall.
