Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between socioeconomic status (SES) and time to diagnosis (TTD) in childhood cancer, noting that a clearer connection has been observed in adults.
- A retrospective analysis involving 854 children revealed a median TTD of 28 days, with variations based on tumor type but no significant link between SES factors and TTD.
- Initial treatment by non-specialized professionals was associated with longer TTD, while overall, TTD did not appear to influence children's survival or relapse rates, indicating a need for further research on individual SES impacts.
