Abstract
Publication of modern advances, tests, or treatments for childhood cancer is a great achievement, yet the reality in many low-income and middle-income countries is different. Colombia is an upper-middle-income country where overall survival for children diagnosed with cancer is lower than that reported in high-income countries.
