AbstractHealth care in some developing countries is now at a level that makes programs for care of children with cancer feasible. Examples of successful international programs in this field include twinning programs, nongovernmental assistance organizations, such as the National Children's Cancer Society, and committees of professional organizations, such as the International Society of Pediatric Oncology (SIOP). The international outreach program at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital includes training programs within the hospital, partner sites in 13 countries, a school for Latin American nurses, a distance learning website, and telecommunications programs, which are described in detail. Future programs should be designed to maximize and evaluate impact, report accomplishments and failures, and avoid duplication.
