The CRDCE in Dakar, Senegal, was present at two important virtual conferences: the AORTIC/OAREC (African Organization for Research and Training in Cancer) conference from November 5 to 10, 2021, and the London Global Cancer Week (LGCW) conference, which is being held from November 14 to 19, 2021.

The CRDCE's activities were presented, including the implementation of improvements for reliable and timely diagnosis and the installation of complementary techniques for characterizing tumor cells using immunohistochemistry or flow cytometry.

Classical and molecular cytogenetic techniques, as well as molecular biology, will soon be available to characterize childhood cancers.

All the techniques required for accurate and reliable diagnosis will therefore be put in place in Dakar, reflecting the dynamism of the entire local team with the support of the Sanofi Espoir Foundation as part of the "My Child Matters" program.
