Abstract
Asia is the largest continent in the world which covers about 60% of world population with estimated number of new cases of childhood cancer about 120 000 per year. Due to variation in economy and health care systems, the treatment outcome of childhood cancer in Asian countries varies greatly. Multicenter collaboration is the direction for improvement of treatment outcome in childhood cancer and this has been demonstrated in many western countries and some Asian countries such as Japan. The development of multicenter collaboration must base on the local situation and be feasible and sustainable. There are now more and more collaboration happening in different countries in Asia. It is anticipated to have different models of collaboration according to the local situation and the sharing of experience is of great importance, and the recent Asia SIOP Congress at Moscow was an excellent platform for sharing.
