This framework document is a “how-to” guide for policy-makers and programme managers to effectively implement the CureAll pillars and enablers. It provides justification for action, posits priority interventions and proposes a monitoring framework. Key components needed to establish, scale up and sustain a well-functioning national childhood cancer programme are explained.The scope of this framework document is centrally defined by the programmes, services and policies that support children with cancer in the context of the health system. For the Initiative, children are defined as those aged 19 years or younger. Childhood cancer care requires cross-cutting strategies, such as workforce training, that often have overlap with broader child health and/or cancer control programmes. These synergies are highlighted and considered in scope for the Initiative and for an integrated response in childhood cancer control. The primary audience for this framework document are policy-makers, cancer control programme managers and hospital managers at the country level. Additional key stakeholders may also find the information in this guide beneficial, including clinicians, parent groups, civil society, academia and interested parties in the private sector.

On 9 February and 1–4 March 2022, the World Health Organization convened experts to review proposed indicators and prioritize the most technically sound, feasible facility-based indicators for strengthening noncommunicable disease patient and programme monitoring systems at national and subnational levels for evidence-informed management of asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, diabetes, hypertension and cancers such as breast cancer, cervical cancer, childhood cancers and general cancers in primary care delivery settings. This technical report captures the meeting proceedings, conclusions, and recommendations and proposes the following actions to improve validity and feasibility indicators: 1. development of clearer, operationalized definitions of numerators and denominators of indicators for consistent measurement, 2. contextualization of indicators according to varying modalities in service delivery and infrastructure in countries, 3. engagement of stakeholders in setting the target for each indicator, 4. establishment of effective coordination mechanisms among health providers at different levels of care, and 5. strengthening of routine health information systems for individual tracking and programme management using appropriate technologies.

This new multithematic book in the series Advances and Technical Standards in Neurosurgery offers an update on several basic and clinical problems in neurosurgery. The main topics are cerebral tumors, epilepsy and vascular malformations. The first chapter will deal with the burden of childhood cancer across the globe, a particular relevant problem in times where economic restrictions and the increased difficulties to access cure are the direct impact of the Covid19 pandemic. A very detailed chapter will provide new guidelines for neuroimaging investigations for intracerebral pathological conditions of surgical interest in the pediatric population. The technical aspects and technological advances in the surgical management of cerebral midline tumors will be covered by several chapters focusing of the optic pathways’ tumors, third ventricle tumors, mesencephalon and pineal body tumors. An update on Chiari malformations and syringomyelia, on the surgical management of epilepsy and on cerebral aneurysms and pediatric spinal vascular malformations will be provided in the remaining contributions. All chapters contribute to an important advancement in the relevant fields, thus offering a valuable contribution to the management of difficult clinical conditions.

The goal of the Paediatric drug optimization for cancer exercise was to develop a PADO priority list of formulations to be prioritized with a time horizon of 3–5 years, and a PADO ‘watch list’ containing promising candidates for investigation and development for children with a time horizon of 5–10 years. The PADO–cancer exercise enables alignment between funders, procurers, market-coordination entities, researchers, innovators, generics manufacturers, product development partnerships and regulators on priority products to be investigated and developed, as well as increasing efforts to tackle challenges in access to cancer medicines in LMICs.
