- W2924902194 abstract "High cure rates of over 80% in childhood cancers reported from high-income countries (HICs) are not replicated in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Treatment abandonment (TxA) is an important reason for this poorer outcome. We assessed the effect of a holistic support group approach coupled with prospective tracking on TxA in children with cancer in a limited-resources environment.In 2010, all existing nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) working with childhood cancer at our hospital were brought together to form a pediatric cancer foundation with the aim of providing holistic support to the patient and family, including financial, psychosocial, lodging, educational, and bereavement support. Simultaneously, prospective tracking of all children with a Time-Responsive Electronic Abandonment Tracking (TREAT) system was also established. The impact of these measures on TxA over the 2009-2016 period was compared using the log-rank test.The annual rate of abandonment reduced from 20% in 2009 to 10.4% in 2010 and 5.2% in 2011. It has been consistently between 3% and 6% from 2012 to 2016 (P -0.04). TxA after the initiation of treatment dropped from 9% in 2009 to 1% in 2016 (P -0.02), while refusal to initiate treatment dropped from 11% to 2.7% (P -0.23) over the same period.A holistic support group consisting of the hospital team, as well as existing NGOs and governmental organizations, along with a systematic and prospective tracking system significantly reduced abandonment in a resource-constrained setting. This cost-effective holistic support group may be applicable in other LMICs with similar healthcare systems." @default.
