Primary central nervous system tumors survival in children in ten Colombian cities: a VIGICANCER report

CONCLUSION: We found that half of Colombia's children and adolescents with primary CNS tumors survive five years, compared to 70% to 80% in high-income countries. In addition to tumor biology and location, gross total resection was crucial for improved survival in this cohort. Systematic monitoring of survival and its determinants provides empirical data for guiding cancer control policies.PMID:38505512 | PMC:PMC10949889 | DOI:10.3389/fonc.2023.1326788
