Article Synopsis
- Children with renal tumors in Brazil have better outcomes when enrolled in clinical trials, but participation remains low.
- The study analyzed data from 105 cancer registries between 2001-2009, comparing tumor diagnoses with those registered in the Brazilian Wilms Tumor Study Group (BWTSG).
- Results showed that participation rates varied by hospital and region, with the highest rates in the South and Southeast, indicating a need for targeted efforts to improve enrollment in clinical trials.
- Survey responses from pediatric oncologists revealed a strong consensus (over 75%) on the importance of trial participation, highlighting awareness of its benefits.

Objective: To identify delays in the health care system experienced by children and adolescents and young adults (AYA; aged 0-29 years) with osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma using information from the Brazilian hospital-based cancer registries.
Methods: Patient data were extracted from 161 Brazilian hospital-based cancer registries between 2007 and 2011. Hospital, diagnosis, and treatment delays were analyzed in patients without a previous histopathological diagnosis.
