Mission

 

The Latin American Hemato Oncologic Pediatric Diseases Consortium (CLEHOP) is an organization dedicated to research and treatment of children and adolescents with cancer in Latin America, with special emphasis on Leukemia and Lymphomas.

According to data from OPS (OPS-2012 Report), there where diagnosed 17,500 new cases of childhood cancer per year in Latin America. This represents 65% of tumors registered in America, which causes around 8,000 deaths annually in the group under 14 years old.

Every year, 10137 leukemias, 1881 Hodgkin Lymphomas and 1000 Non-Hodgkin's Lymphomas are diagnosed every year in this group.

These facts raise the need to establish a joint work between the different countries of the region. Thus, the possibility of an association through the figure of a consortium to maintain institutional or cooperative groups that currently make up autonomy arises.
