Abstract

The German Childhood Cancer Registry (GCCR) annually registers approx. 1,800 children diagnosed with a malignant disease (completeness of registration >95%) (Kaatsch 2004). While most pediatric cancer patients are diagnosed and treated according to standardized cooperative protocols of the German Society for Pediatric Oncology and Hematology (GPOH), a significant proportion of patients with rare tumors do not fully benefit from the sophisticated network, including study and reference centers (Schneider and Brecht 2010).
