Abstract

Background

The SEER Registry contains U.S. cancer statistics. To assess trends in incidence and survival and the impact of demographic factors among pediatric patients with cancer, we assessed nearly 5 decades (1975-2019) of data.

Methods

All patients below the age of 20 with histology-confirmed malignancy were studied. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were generated to evaluate survival trends across treatment periods and ICCC classes. JoinPoint analysis was conducted to identify changes in incidence and survival.
