With the relative underrepresentation of pediatric neuro-oncology literature from the Chinese group, this compilation represents an exciting and timely reference set to allow a glimpse of the current service provision among leading institutions in the Country. Such efforts should serve as a starting point for endeavors to ensure the availability of the best treatment for children with CNS tumors regardless of where they are born.
