La leucémie aiguë lymphoblastique au quotidien : coordination.

Management of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia, the most common cancer in childhood, is based on specialized oncology treatment teams, included in well-structured regional network. As soon as the diagnosis is established, the patient is hospitalized in a referral centre for childhood cancer, which works in close collaboration with community hospitals and has partnerships with other health care facilities to enable continuous and integrated care for patients and their families. The quality of patients cares rely heavily on the coordinated implementation of health professionals: medical doctors, dieticians, physiotherapists, psychologists, oncology nurse coordinators, and also social workers.
