Searches of six databases (Scopus, MEDLINE, Web of Science, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and Google Scholar) identified 31 qualitative studies published between January 2009 and February 2025.

These domains remained consistent across diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship but differed in expression over time. Diagnosis was characterised by emotional shock, uncertainty, and reliance on parental containment. During treatment, children experienced procedural distress, disrupted peer relationships, and fluctuating autonomy. Survivorship involved fear of relapse, challenges with reintegration, and inconsistent psychosocial follow\u2010up. Evidence gaps were identified for toddlers' and school\u2010aged children's needs in survivorship.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
