Abstract
Cancer is a significant problem in the epidemiological profile of Colombia. Population surveys indicate that after cardiovascular diseases and violent deaths, malignant neoplasms are the third leading cause of death in our country. In Colombia, the absence and lack of conformation of such records do not assess the magnitude and distribution of morbidity in the appropriate way for the different areas of the country, especially in children. Therefore, hospital cancer records registries become an essential tool that provides direct information on new cases of cancer and their general behavior regarding survival rate and prognosis. The main objective is to characterize the percentage distribution and survival rate among children with malignancies treated at the Centro Javeriano de Oncologia, as an epidemiological substrate to enhance the national database of childhood cancer.
