Background
Background
Cancer in children is a rare, potentially life-threatening disease with an incidence of 15-20 per 100.000 children worldwide. General pediatricians are critical in recognizing cancer and timely referring these children to a pediatric oncologist.
This study focuses on eliciting the required information for designing a workplace-based training program for general pediatricians to timely recognize a child with cancer and to take care of these children in emergency situations.
In order to participate in a study please refer to your/your child’s doctor.
