Summary

This study looked at how radiation therapy changes the brains and lives of children with central nervous system tumors. Researchers followed 76 kids for up to 5 years, using MRI scans, blood and urine tests, and surveys to measure memory, quality of life, and side effects. The goal was to better understand these changes, not to test a new treatment.
