Patients and outcomes working group
The projects designated as priorities for the patients and outcomes
working group include tracking and reducing treatment abandonment and
increasing the number of patients with a confirmed diagnosis. The first
actionable objective is to reduce the treatment abandonment rate of
patients with Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and Wilms tumor (WT) by
50% within 2 years, with a 1-year milestone of establishing a registry
to track patients in each PHO institution. The second objective is to
establish a correct diagnosis in greater than 80% of children being
treated for cancer, with a 1-year milestone of creating diagnostic
algorithms for PHO diseases and establishing hospital-based pediatric
cancer registries
