Description
Children with suspected leukemia need fast, exact lab work to sort their disease and choose treatment, yet many Mexican hospitals lacked the full panel. Paola Friedrich and co-authors report in 2023 on a project that centralized those tests, run with a United States children's hospital alliance. Fourteen centers in twelve states sent samples to one lab.
Over four years, 612 patients entered the project, and nearly all samples arrived within two days. Every patient got precise results on time, and 505 cases were confirmed as leukemia, mostly the B-cell kind. Deep genetic and residual disease results sorted patients into risk groups for tailored care. The authors present the model as proof that central labs can deliver equity and quality at national scale.
