Projects and Publications:
  • Childhood leukemia is a rare disease, being slightly more common in Latin American and Caribbean countries than in Europe. However, the survival of patients is significantly different between both regions. This may be due to medical and non-medical factors: biology, access to healthcare, limited diagnostic resources, lack of research, etc.
  • Our mission is to create a framework of collaborative, multidisciplinary research between Latin America and Europe, to harmonize the levels of care and reduce inequalities in the outcome of children with leukemia. CLOSER studies Leukemia in a holistic way, using a global and multi-level approach, while keeping the focus on patients and their needs.
