We identified no guidelines that were specific to clinical assessment or management of anxiety and distress among children and adolescents undergoing cancer treatment or HSCT, and thus, clinicians lack evidence-informed guidance on how to manage these specific symptoms. Future research should establish high-quality guidelines that offer recommendations specific to clinical assessment and management of anxiety and distress in pediatric oncology and HSCT.
