Pediatric neuro-oncology in Latin America and the Caribbean: a gap to be filled
1 Childhood cancer and disease burden From the estimated 400,000children and adolescents who develop cancer each year, 80% live in low-middle income countries (LMIC) and are, unfortunately, responsible for 90% of the deaths in this age group (1, 2). The global outcome disparities are influenced by s...
