The path towards a population-based childhood cancer registry in the region of Dakar in Senegal: A feasibility study of the Franco-African Paediatric Oncology Group (GFAOP)
The additional cases found outside the HBCR, the observed variability of cancer types, and the low incidence rates highlight the need for a PBCR to standardize the registration process and improve completeness of ascertainment. Given the few identified data sources, a PBCR in the Dakar region would provide accurate information about childhood cancer burden in the covered population. However, political and financial support is necessary to sustain the registry.
