Central Nervous System Tumors Among Infants in Canada: A Report From CYP‐C
Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Central nervous system (CNS) tumors in infants are rare, pose unique clinical challenges, and lack large‐scale evidence‐based data to guide management. This study seeks to describe CNS tumors in Canadian infants and to compare their outcomes with those of older children.
