Childhood brain tumor survivors face hidden hormone risks
NCT ID NCT07457255
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study examined 12 childhood brain tumor survivors to understand long-term hormone and metabolic problems. Researchers checked for issues like growth hormone deficiency, thyroid problems, obesity, and abnormal cholesterol. The goal is to help doctors better monitor and manage these late effects to improve survivors' long-term health.
