ABSTRACT Childhood cancer survivors are at risk for physiological, psychosocial, and school difficulties following treatment. It is well documented that Latinx childhood cancer survivors are underrepresented in the literature. Little is known about their lived experiences, the role of culture in their psychosocial or school outcomes, and their experiences with culturally relevant interventions. This comprehensive review aims to describe the current literature exploring the lived experiences of Latinx childhood cancer survivors and their caregivers, review the literature examining the role of culture in psychosocial and school outcomes, and review culturally relevant psychosocial or school interventions designed for Latinx childhood cancer survivors and families. This review identified nineteen articles (10 quantitative, 7 qualitative, 2 mixed methods) that were evaluated using the Cultural Care Theory framework. Findings indicate that cancer is a unique experience for Latinx children and caregivers, and culture influences their needs and insights both during and following cancer treatment. Implications for research and clinical care are provided.
