Dr Saeed Nemati speaks to ecancer about his study that examines childhood cancer survival in Iran across eight provinces, analysing data from 2000 to 2016.

It focuses on five-year survival rates for leukaemia and CNS cancers, revealing swab rates of 68% and 48%.

The research highlights the challenges of late diagnoses and limited access to treatment, particularly in low-income areas.

Improving access and early diagnosis is crucial for enhancing survival rates and quality of life.
