Maite Gorostegui: Thank you Trijn Israels, your talk was certainly one of the best of SIOP2023

Quoting Maite Gorostegui, Chair of the SIOP Global Mapping Programme, on LinkedIn:

”Treatment abandonment is the principal cause of cancer treatment failure in low income countries, and this ocurrs not because the parents “want” to leave their child “without treatment”. This ocurrs, because we have failed as a society…and we – far away for their realities – (need for food, no cash, transport to the hospital) prefer to look to the other way. Zero Abandonment. Thank you Trijn Israels your talk was certainly one of the best of SIOP2023. You are inspiring Collaborative African Network of Clinical Care and Research for Childhood Cancer (CANCaRe Africa).”
