As part of the 19th Dakar Medical, Pharmaceutical, Dental, and Veterinary Conference, which will be held from April 26 to 29, 2023, at Cheikh Anta Diop University, a symposium on childhood cancers will be held on Friday, April 28. The following topics will be presented: the Reference Center for Child Diagnosis (CRDCE), the immunophenotypic aspects of leukemia and solid tumors, carcinogenesis data, and immunotherapy in childhood cancers.

These presentations address the biological and anatomo-pathological aspects of CRDCE in conjunction with the Pediatric Oncology Unit in Dakar and correspond to the implementation of the CRDCE project created with the support of the Sanofi Espoir Foundation through the My Child Matters program and with the current support of the Sanofi Foundation S.

This entire project is the result of the efforts of hematologists, cytogeneticists, pathologists, and pediatric oncologists in Dakar, with support from the AMCC as part of the Pathology and Diagnostic Support program.
