  • Review of socioeconomic factors influencing pediatric oncology development.
  • Assessment of resource allocation and access to advanced treatments.

    • Main Results:

    • Developing countries experience a disproportionately high burden of childhood cancer.
    • Significant differences in cancer incidence and characteristics exist between developing and developed nations due to environmental and lifestyle factors.
    • The majority of children with cancer in developing countries cannot access modern diagnostic and treatment advancements because of high costs.

    Conclusions:

    • Childhood cancer management is intrinsically tied to national development levels.
    • Addressing poverty, improving hygiene and education, and increasing resource allocation are crucial for advancing pediatric oncology in developing countries.
    • Equitable access to advanced pediatric cancer care is a critical global health imperative.
