From armed-conflict to care: clinical outcomes, diagnostic challenges, and psychosocial burden in children evaluated for suspected cancer displaced from Gaza and treated at a regional center of excellence

Background

Conflict-related displacement profoundly disrupts pediatric cancer care, yet clinical outcomes data for evacuated children treated at regional oncology centers remain scarce. We describe the clinical characteristics, diagnostic challenges, nutritional and psychosocial burden, and outcomes of children evacuated from Gaza and treated at King Hussein Cancer Center (KHCC), Jordan.
