Abstract:
What's new? While access to uniform health care and standardised treatments is free in Denmark, Danish children with cancer may not benefit equally from the health system. Here, associations between family circumstances and survival of paediatric tumours of the central nervous system were analysed for a complete nationwide cohort of Danish children born between 1973 and 2006. The findings show that certain family circumstances, including number of siblings, place of residence and parent age at time of diagnosis, are associated with survival. This calls for targeted interventions in order to further improve survival rates and reduce inequity.
