CEDAR Project
The SIOP Education and Training Committee is glad to announce the launch of the “Childhood Cancer Early Diagnosis and Appropriate Referral (CEDAR) project”, in collaboration with the International Pediatric Association (IPA). The main objective of the CEDAR Project is to improve the knowledge and understanding of general health care providers, including paediatricians, family practitioners, and community nurses, involved in the initial care, diagnostic workup, and referral of paediatric patients suspected of having cancer.

Practical Advice in monthly webinars
By providing practical advice from oncology experts from around the world, we aim to improve the outcomes of children with cancer in resource-limited settings where delayed diagnosis, misdiagnosis, and underdiagnosis significantly impact cancer-related morbidity and mortality. In the first phase of the CEDAR project, SIOP and IPA are organizing a series of monthly webinars (September 2022 to March 2023) to highlight the importance of early diagnosis, with a focus on the six WHO index cancers (acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, Hodgkin lymphoma, Burkitt’s lymphoma, Wilms tumour, retinoblastoma, and low-grade glioma). There will also be a discussion session with an international expert panel in each of these webinars.

After his diagnosis in January 2013, Adam Brock sought treatment for Burkitt’s Lymphoma at the Meyer Cancer Center at Weill Cornell Medical College and New York Presbyterian Hospital. As a young man, he was very worried that the experience of going through lymphoma cancer treatment would be a traumatizing one. The doctors at Weill Cornell gave Adam reassuring and compassionate care, and developed a successful lymphoma cancer treatment for him. The fact that the lymphoma treatment took place at one of the best hospitals in the world was extremely important for Adam, due to the fact that cancer patients usually have other urgent medical needs beyond the specific cancer treatment. The personal experience he had with his doctors and at the hospital itself proved crucial in helping him through the process. “It’s their passion, and they want to help people”. This was why Adam decided to be treated at Weill Cornell Medical College Lymphoma Program.

I was actually diagnosed with Stage IV Burkitt's Lymphoma back in January, 2013. When making the decision to go to Weill Cornell knowing that a general hospital was attached to it, that was by far a priority because through chemo there's so many other things that can happen to you. I was in the emergency room almost every single cycle because of my white blood count and it was the utmost important that I had connection to an ER or to another medical personnel. Going through chemo is a really traumatizing thing to go through, and you don't really know how bad it is until you're done with it. And it was just really good to know that they're not just there because it's their job, but they're there because it's their passion and they want to help people. I think it's really important when you're making any type of medical decision to do your research and knowing that Weill Cornell they're on the pulse of every single study out there. I think that's extremely important. Just knowing that my doctor was busy at conferences and going to present specific studies of strains of lymphoma and chemo regimens, that made me feel a lot better about myself and the treatment that I'm receiving here. Every hospital can go ahead and they can give you chemo, but it's about that personal connection that you feel with the medical staff and they know who I am. They know my likes, they know my dislikes, they know kind of like my ups and my downs, and what I need on a day to day basis and they follow up with me, and you really don't get that anywhere else. And I'm really happy that I was able to experience that here at Weill Cornell.
