Spatial and Temporal Distribution of Pediatric Cancers in Southern Ghana: A Retrospective Observational Study

Although this study offers relevant baseline information, comprehensive epidemiological investigations are necessary to establish specific environmental risk factors and potential gene-environment interactions contributing to this pediatric cancer clustering.
