Abstract

The International Society of Paediatric Oncology (SIOP) launched a program to map all pediatric cancer facilities around the world. After the results in Africa were completed, the strategy for data collection for Latin America was revised to improve the accuracy and avoid duplications. In partnership with SIOP, the Sociedad Latino Americana de Oncología Pediátrica (SLAOP) approached their delegates who provided the contacts for a 10-question survey about their institutional capacities. Data were collected by email, online meetings, or telephone calls, and stored in a secure platform. All but one country participated and a high number of centers were recorded.

Keywords: International Society of Pediatric Oncology (SIOP); Latin America mapping; health services.
