Abstract
The management of children with CNS cancers demands close collaboration between pediatric oncologists specifically trained in CNS tumors (neuro-oncologists), pediatric neurosurgeons, radiation oncologists, pediatric neuro-pathologists and other specialists; without such intimate cooperation, misdiagnoses, delays in initiation of appropriate therapy, and the age-appropriate selection of therapies become sub-optimal, as is seen widely throughout South America.
Description
IMPACT. 1: Our long-term goal is improvement in the care of children and adolescents with CNS cancer in Brazil in general, and São Paolo in particular, as manifested by improved cure and quality of survival outcome measures as well as measures of successful education -- 2. Perform a quantitative needs assessment of the pediatric neuro-oncology programs at GRAACC and at Nationwide Children's. Formalization of educational visits for residents and fellows from IOP/GRAACC/UNIFESP to OSU/NCH for 3 month periods for advanced training. -- 3. Enhancement of neuropathology infrastructure and expertise at IOP/GRAACC/UNIFESP through educational interactions and training between NCH, OSU and IOP/GRAACC/UNIFESP neuropathologists.
