3.2 Availability of subspecialty expertise in PSTUs
Pediatric-trained oncologists, surgeons, radiologists, pathologists,
radiation oncologists, nuclear medicine physicians and nurses were
available in 94.6%, 91.9%, 54.1%, 40.5%, 29.7%, 13.5% and 81.1%
of PSTUs, respectively (Fig 1B and Supplemental Table S1). Availability
of pediatric-trained surgeons, radiologists and pathologists was
significantly associated with existence of MDTBs (p =0.037, 0.005,
0.022, respectively) (Table 2).
