Scientists scan brains to uncover hidden costs of childhood cancer survival

NCT ID NCT03208387

Summary

This study aims to understand how surviving a childhood brain tumor affects long-term thinking, memory, and behavior. Researchers are comparing brain scans and thinking tests from 42 survivors to those of healthy children. The goal is to identify biological reasons for any lasting cognitive challenges, not to test a new treatment.
