Survival from pediatric cancers in low-middle-income countries is often
very low compared to that of high-income countries due to multifactorial
etiologies, including late presentation, delayed diagnosis, difficulty
with accessing health care, drug unavailability and treatment
abandonment. The St. Jude Pediatric Oncology Facility Integrated Local
Evaluation Tool (PrOFILE) was developed to identify the strengths and
weaknesses of individual institutions, as well as whole countries.
Following the completion of data analysis from Kenyan institutions, the
first PrOFILE hybrid in-person and virtual workshop was held.
Multi-disciplinary stakeholders prioritized recommendations for
improving care and developed smart objectives to accomplish identified
goals over the following 2 years. Strengths and weaknesses of conducting
a hybrid global workshop were identified.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
