“Local evidence post 24.

Check out this publication: ‘Prevention of treatment abandonment remains an important challenge to increase survival of Wilms tumor in sub-Saharan Africa: A report from Wilms Africa—CANCaRe Africa’.

Treatment abandonment among patients with Wilms tumour increased from 12% to 26%, primarily due to treatment costs and the lack of financial support, thereby negatively affecting overall survival rates.”
