The estimated number of new children suffering from cancer is around 2000-2500 per year in Nepal. Only a fraction of the total estimated pediatric cancer patients reaches Kanti Children`s Hospital, Bhaktapur Cancer Hospital, Patan Academy of Health Sciences and BP Koirala Memorial Cancer Hospital each year. Signs and symptoms of childhood cancer being mostly non-specific and many myths existing in the community, we were prompted to conduct orientation training regarding childhood cancer and its early detection among the grass-root level health workers.
