Treatment abandonment and refusal among children with central nervous system tumors in Jordan.

Treatment abandonment and refusal in Jordanian children with CNS tumors is low. Universal cancer insurance, high level of education in the country, centralized cancer care in one institution, and the twinning program likely contributed to our low incidence. Improving knowledge on CNS tumors and better community rehabilitation and supportive services may help further decrease the abandonment and treatment refusal rate.
