Childhood and adolescent cancer in Chile: examining challenges and shaping tomorrow

CONCLUSIONS: Chile has made progress in childhood cancer indicators, particularly in increasing survival, demonstrating its commitment to improving care for children with cancer, and this has been achieved through legislative frameworks, national planning, collaborative partnerships and participation in global initiatives. Despite the progress made, ongoing research, strong policy implementation and multidisciplinary collaborations remain vital to addressing persistent challenges. This study highlights the need to refine health systems, data collection methodologies and global cooperation to ensure optimal care for every child facing cancer, thus improving their chances of survival and their overall quality of life.PMID:38576846 | PMC:PMC10993797 | DOI:10.26633/RPSP.2024.38
