The need for resource‐linked translational oncology in the management of neuroblastoma and other childhood malignancies in low‐ and middle‐income countries

“…Two possible reasons are that homogenous reporting between resource settings are seldom applied and there are few studies that make associations between clinical management possibilities available to resource-limited settings and advanced management possibilities available to higher resourced settings. 17 For evidence-based research in LMIC, standardisation may provide a benchmark for homogenous reporting. Similar-resourced settings may compare outcomes and will be able to correlate findings with higher resources settings.…”

“…Comparative research between resource‐limited settings and between resource‐limited and higher‐resource settings have been challenging. Two possible reasons are that homogenous reporting between resource settings are seldom applied and there are few studies that make associations between clinical management possibilities available to resource‐limited settings and advanced management possibilities available to higher resourced settings 17 .
