Childhood Brain Cancer Causes Other Long-Term Problems
Date:11/2/2009

ns, the researchers found.

The neurocognitive issues reported by childhood brain cancer survivors were associated with significantly poorer adaptation to adult life, including lower achievement in education, full-time employment and income. They were also less likely to be married, the study authors noted.

The study "underscores the need for continued attention to mitigating the long-term negative effects of [childhood brain cancers] and their treatment," the study authors wrote. They added that it's "important to investigate the benefits of early and consistent use of compensatory strategies, including assistive technology, transitional facilities to promote independent living, and job placement and coaching, to enhance functional outcomes."
