Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Although CNS tumors are the most common pediatric cancer in the United States, most physicians caring for these patients are not formally certified in the subspecialty. To determine support for developing a formal certification process in pediatric neuro-oncology, the Society for Neuro-Oncology\'s Pediatrics Special Interest Track Training and Credentialing working group performed a cross-sectional survey-based study of physicians and patients/caregivers of children with a CNS tumor history.
UNASSIGNED: Surveys were built in Survey Monkey and were available for 3 months. The physician survey had 34 questions and was open to doctors currently caring for pediatric neuro-oncology patients. The patient/caregiver survey had 13 questions. Both surveys were completed anonymously.
UNASSIGNED: The physician survey was completed by 193 participants, the majority of whom self-identified as oncologists. Only 5.6% of survey participants had ever been board-certified in neuro-oncology; the majority of participating physicians were either unaware that this certification existed or thought they were not eligible due to training in pediatrics rather than neurology or internal medicine. Almost half of the self-identified pediatric neuro-oncologists had not completed any specific clinical neuro-oncology training. Over 75% of physicians were supportive of the implementation of a formal certification process in pediatric neuro-oncology. A total of 30 participants completed the patient/caregiver survey. Although the majority of survey participants were highly satisfied with their oncologist, 70% would have been more comfortable if their oncologist had been specifically certified in pediatric neuro-oncology.
UNASSIGNED: There is support from physicians, patients, and caregivers to establish a formal certification process in pediatric neuro-oncology.

摘要：
尽管中枢神经系统肿瘤是美国最常见的儿科癌症，大多数照顾这些患者的医生都没有在专科得到正式认证。为了确定对开发儿科神经肿瘤学正式认证过程的支持，神经肿瘤学会的儿科特殊兴趣跟踪培训和资格认证工作组对有中枢神经系统肿瘤病史的儿童的医师和患者/护理人员进行了一项基于横断面调查的研究.
■调查是在调查猴子中建立的，并且可以使用3个月。医生调查有34个问题，对目前照顾儿科神经肿瘤患者的医生开放。患者/护理人员调查有13个问题。两项调查都是匿名完成的。
■医师调查由193名参与者完成，大多数人自称为肿瘤学家。只有5.6％的调查参与者曾经获得过神经肿瘤学委员会认证；大多数参与的医生要么不知道该认证的存在，要么认为由于接受了儿科而不是神经病学或内科医学的培训而没有资格。几乎一半的自我鉴定的儿科神经肿瘤学家没有完成任何特定的临床神经肿瘤学培训。超过75％的医生支持在儿科神经肿瘤学中实施正式的认证程序。共有30名参与者完成了患者/护理人员调查。尽管大多数调查参与者对他们的肿瘤学家非常满意，如果他们的肿瘤科医生在儿科神经肿瘤学中获得特别认证，70%的人会更舒服。
■有医生的支持，病人,和护理人员在儿科神经肿瘤学中建立正式的认证程序。
