Overview of Paediatric Oncology in Malawi Peter Wasswa MBCHB, MRCP, MRCPCH, FRCPath Consultant Paediatric Haematologist Kamuzu Central Hospital Assistant Professor of Pediatrics Baylor College of Medicine Director, Malawi program, Global Hematology Oncology Programs of Excellence, Texas Children’s Hospital.

Overview Significance of childhood Cancer- How common, How important? Resources in Malawi- diagnostic, treatment- curative and supportive, including palliation Research infrastructure- what has been done, what is being done, what is planned, opportunities,

GLOBOCAN 2012 14067.9 (X103) new cancer cases 8201.6 (X103) cancer deaths 18.5% risk of a cancer diagnosis before age 75 years) Risk of dying from cancer at age <75 yrs. 10.5%

Globocan 2012

Cancer incidence by age group GLOBOCAN 2012

Child statistics 0-14yrs 0-14yrs: 163284 (1.1% of all new cases worldwide) 64% in LMIC

High Vs LMIC

Cancer subtypes 0-14yrs- World numbe % Leukae 49,752 30.4 brain 20,105 12.3 NHL 16,514 10.1 Kidney 9,656 6 Hodgkins 6,744 4 Liver 3,529 2.2 KS 2,163 1.32 Thyroid 1,715 1 NPC 1,204 0.7

Cancer subtypes 0-14, GLOBOCAN 2012 Sub-Saharan Africa Malawi

0-14 Years Kyaddondo County, Uganda 1993-1997 Blantyre

Why is it different for SSA? Genetics Environmental Social Economic Superfluous- diagnostic challenges Incomplete data collection/registries

Childhood cancer incidence in South Africa, 1987 – 2007 Stefan etal S Afr Med J 2015

Leukaemia as a proportion of Ethnicity specific cancer incidence rates RSA

What we see at KCH 12/ 2011- 06/2013 07/2015 to 07/2016

GLOBOCAN 2012 DATA 07/2015 to 07/2016

Rationale for splitting adult and paediatric cancer services Childhood cancer is rare Different incident/prevalent cancer subtypes Better outcomes for children in paediatric environments Differences in physiology, physical and mental growth Unique psycho-social, and educational needs for children Late effects more significant.

QECH- Blantyre Child cancer treatment since 1964 17 beds Dr George Chagaluka-Paediatric Oncologist, resident, Clinical officer 5 nurses Play lady Social worker Data manager

QECH resources Paediatric surgery Neurosurgery Paediatric subspecialties Pathology Radiology- MRI Blood bank Palliative care

KCH-1 Paediatric Haematologist 2 medical officers 4 clinical officers 2 nurses + 1 UNC lymphoma study staff. Increased scope from July 2015 Paediatric Surgeon 2016 More to come!

KCH- resources General Paediatrics and retrovirology Pathology services KCH + UNC lab + Baylor Paediatric Surgery Radiology- CT Intensive Care Blood Bank Dietetics Pharmacy

Outcomes KCH data, Dec 2011 to June 2013; Sustained CR: (74/271 (27%) (median follow-up 19 months) Mtete et al 2015 BL 18month OS: 29% (95% CI 18-41%) Stanley et al BJH 2016 Lymphoma, Leukaemia, Wilms, Retinoblastoma contribute 83% of new non KS childhood cancer diagnoses (KCH data July 2015 to June 2016)

Obstacles Late presentation Limited diagnostic resources. Supportive care limitations Limited specific treatment options Psycho social support Treatment abandonment Sustainability

Bridging the gap Local and International partners- MOH, Newcastle, World Child Cancer, BCM, UNC Care and research Human resource capacity and training Diagnostic infrastructure- flow cytometry , IHC, etc BL new treatment strategies- HD MTX 80% CR rates for ALL, all maintained at >6months, Safe navigation of AML induction Radiotherapy

Conclusion Significant numbers of childhood cancer in Malawi Mostly curable cancers Poor outcomes Opportunities to do better The future looks bright.
