Pediatric and adolescent cancer disparities in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region: incidence, mortality, and survival across socioeconomic strata

These findings highlight the need for evidence-based interventions to reduce cancer-related mortality and disease burden among children and adolescents, particularly in low-income countries within the region and for cancer types with the highest mortality rates. Additionally, efforts should focus on establishing registries to provide up-to-date national data on cancer incidence and mortality in countries within the region.
