RESUMEN
La mortalidad por cáncer en niños mexicanos no ha disminuido a los niveles informados en países desarrollados. Una explicación
frecuentemente declarada es el alto porcentaje (57.3 %) de pacientes diagnosticados en estadios avanzados (III/IV),
atribuible a errores en la sospecha o en la metodología empleada, consideración dudosa si se toma en cuenta que el tiempo
de diagnóstico y la proporción de estadios avanzados en México son semejantes a los de países desarrollados. En la mayoría
de los niños con cáncer, los días transcurridos desde el primer síntoma a momento del diagnóstico oncológico no correlacionan
con el estadio clínico y tampoco con la probabilidad de supervivencia. El éxito en la supervivencia depende en gran
medida del tratamiento integral (específico y de la atención a las complicaciones). Esta visión obliga a estrategias dirigidas
principalmente a invertir más recursos en opciones terapéuticas eficaces y eficientes, capacitación oncológica integral del
equipo de salud (médicos, enfermeras, técnicos), tecnologías diagnósticas, fomento a la colaboración interinstitucional e internacional
y apoyo socioeconómico a las familias durante el proceso terapéutico.
