This study highlights the importance of the diagnosis of CNS tumors, patient age, and symptoms in predicting diagnosis delay in pediatric oncology patients. These findings can inform interventions to reduce delays in diagnosis and improve outcomes for these patients. These insights are crucial for developing targeted educational programs aimed at healthcare professionals and families to accelerate the recognition and referral of pediatric cancer cases.
