Summary

Delayed childhood cancer diagnosis is a global diagnostic excellence challenge, but educational solutions remain poorly evaluated. This scoping review identified 29 studies from 20 countries examining educational interventions for timely pediatric cancer diagnosis. Most used in-person training, including workshops, courses and lectures, but approaches and outcome measures varied substantially, limiting conclusions about effectiveness.
