Résumé en anglais
Pediatric cancer mortality and survival rates have improved since the early 2000s for all racial and/or ethnic and socioeconomic groups. However, disparities in pediatric and adolescent cancer survival continue to persist. Continued and enhanced support for research and policy efforts that have the goal of eliminating disparities in pediatric and adolescent cancer survival relating to race and/or ethnicity and socioeconomic status are needed.
