Objetivo: Describir las fases del proyecto Código Cáncer y sus resultados preliminares.  Métodos: Se organizaron siete grupos de investigación para: a) entender las causas de los retrasos que enfrentan las personas con cáncer en México, sus trayectorias y costos asociados; b) conocer los mecanismos de referencia formales e informales que constituyen su trayectoria en el sistema de salud, y c) entender la infraestructura existente y la necesaria para responder a las necesidades epidemiológicas del país.  Resultados: Estos resultados sientan las bases para la implementación de un programa de referencia rápida de pacientes.  Conclusión: Las políticas de diagnóstico y tratamiento oportuno del cáncer basadas en la evidencia son imprescindibles para atender los retrasos en la atención. Código Cáncer representa un proyecto innovador para lograr este objetivo en México.]]></p></abstract>

Objective: To describe the &#8220;Code Cancer&#8221; project phases and their preliminary results.  Methods: Seven research groups organized to: a) understand the causes of delays faced by people with cancer in Mexico, their trajectories, and associated costs; b) understand the formal and informal referral mechanisms that constitute their trajectory in the health system, and c) understand the existing and necessary infrastructure to respond to the epidemiological needs of the country.  Results: These preliminary results lay the groundwork for implementing a rapid patient referral program.  Conclusions: Evidence-based policies for early cancer diagnosis and treatment are essential to address delays in medical assistance. &#8220;Code Cancer&#8221; represents an innovative project to achieve this goal in Mexico.]]></p></abstract>
