[Impact of an early diagnosis program for childhood cancer in Abidjan?].

Introduction: To promote the early diagnosis of pediatric cancers in Ivory Coast, we have initiated a program to train local physicians in the warning signs and to raise public awareness. The aim of this work was to compare the times, stages and survival of patients before and three years after the initiation of the program.

Methods: This retrospective study involved children 0-17 years of age admitted from January to December 2014 and from May 2018 to April 2019.
