Global incidence, mortality and temporal trends of cancer in children: A joinpoint regression analysis

Abstract

Background/Methods: The Cancer Incidence in Five Continents Time Trends, Nordic Cancer Registries, Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results, WHO Mortality databases were assessed to extract the Age-Standardised Rates (ASR) of cancer incidence and mortality among children aged 0-14 years old. By using the ASRs, the country-specific Average Annual Percentage Change (AAPC) and its corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated to determine the epidemiological cancer trend.

Pediatric oncology services in Nepal: A special focus on pharmacy practice

Pediatric Oncology Nurse-Led Research and Evidence-Based Practice: Global Exemplars to Reduce Disparity

“…Despite these challenges, rates of childhood cancer survivorship are growing the fastest in LMICs (Huang et al, 2023). The World Health Organization Global Initiative for Childhood Cancer, launched in 2018, set a goal to improve worldwide survival from childhood cancer to 60% and reduce the suffering of all children with cancer (World Health Organization, 2020a).…”
