Abstract:
The results of the current study indicate that the treatment of patients with selected pediatric cancers in a specialized unit in El Salvador can achieve good outcomes at a cost per newly diagnosed case of US $28,707 and a cost per life saved of $58,586. This meets the World Health Organization threshold of being “very cost effective.” Strong support from local foundations is important in making treatment affordable.
