Abstract
There is no national cancer registry in Colombia that would allow us to precisely assess the burden of the disease for this condition; however, calculations have shown that there are 2,080 new paediatric cancer cases every year, and of those 500 correspond to ALL. With the goal of reducing mortality and improving the chances for a diagnosis and treatment of children affected by this condition, the present clinical practice guide (CPG) was developed after a work of months carried out by an organised and motivated group of physicians specialised in the field (epidemiologists and economists, among others), who formulated recommendations for the different stages: prevention, suspicion, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of children and teens diagnosed with ALL.
