While early diagnosis of brain tumors is essential for improving prognoses, several challenges prevent early diagnosis of these illnesses in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The objective of this systematic review is to identify and evaluate the barriers and challenges to early detection of brain tumors in LMICs, as well as to propose potential solutions. ⋯ Significant barriers to early detection persist in LMICs. Collaboration between stakeholders, legislators, health ministries, and governmental organizations is essential for developing and implementing focused interventions, such as establishment of referral pathways and specialized centers, adapting guidelines to local cultural contexts and raising public and professional awareness.
