Overview

Survey found low pediatric oncology training and awareness among pediatricians, highlighting barriers to early diagnosis.

Key Points

  • Less than 50% of pediatricians scored correctly on childhood cancer, revealing knowledge gaps.
  • A significant 39.5% of pediatricians did not receive any training in pediatric oncology during medical school.
  • Common barriers included late parental presentation, lack of pediatric oncologists, and limited access to diagnostics.
  • These findings underscore the urgent need to improve medical education and the healthcare system in Russia.
