Hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT) facilities were available in 89% of countries (32\/36). CAR-T CD19 therapy was available in 72% of countries; however, 25\/36 (69%) countries lacked clinical trials or international collaborations for pediatric CAR-T CD19 therapy. Most countries accepted foreign patients, but referrals remained limited, with 1-2 foreign patients treated annually per country. Eighteen countries expressed interest in a referral network, but only six had established mechanisms for domestic or international referrals.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSION<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Substantial disparities exist in access to advanced therapies for pediatric B-ALL across Europe. Although CAR-T CD19 therapy is available in most countries, gaps in clinical trials, collaborations, and referral systems limit equitable access. Efforts to improve infrastructure and establish referral networks are essential to enhance care for patients with pediatric B-ALL.<\/jats:p>\n
