摘要：
Despite its low incidence, pediatric cancer makes up a significant portion of childhood illnesses. Yet information on pediatric cancer in Latin America is scarce. Since the early 2000s the World Health Organization (WHO) has been highlighting the role of cancer registries in cancer surveillance and control. This article describes the main aspects of pediatric cancer registration in Latin America, highlighting the successes of Argentina's national pediatric cancer registry, Registro Oncopedidtrico Hospitalario Argentine (ROHA), which allows for better health care and contributes to improved outcomes for children with cancer, to provide a rationale for the expansion and enhancement of pediatric cancer registration in other Latin American countries.
