Medical guidelines for histiocytic disorders

Introduction

Following the incidence, each year 1400-2500 children and adults in the European Union develop Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis (LCH) and associated syndromes. In several cases, patients have to wait many weeks, months or even years until diagnosis. Once confirmed, patients and treating physicians have to deal with histiocytosis, searching for scientifically approved information concerning adequate diagnosis, therapy and follow-up. This is why expert groups around the world, including ECHO, strive to make reliable information and expert support easily accessible.
