QOL-51. NEUROCOGNITIVE SEQUELAE OF CHILDREN TREATED FOR CNS TUMORS: EXPERIENCE FROM THE FIRST SYSTEMATIC EVALUATION IN GREECE

摘要

CNS tumors are the second most common neoplasms in children and primary cause of childhood cancer morbidity. With the increase of 5-year survival rate, the diagnosis of long-term consequences is necessary. Recent studies suggest that childhood CNS tumors are associated with IQ decline and deficits in specific cognitive functions. Factors such as localization, age at diagnosis and therapeutic modalities influence the range and severity of the neuropsychological deficits.OBJECTIVEThis work presents the results of the first systematic evaluation of neuropsychological performance of Greek children with CNS tumors.
