Child brain-cancer survivors have long-term health needs

From the CEC Smart Brief:

Nearly one-third of children who survive brain cancer need special-education services, and many continue to suffer headaches, pain and nausea, finds a new Stanford University study in the Aug. 20 issue of the Journal of Clinical Oncology. The study is the first to compare the health-related quality of life of children who've had brain tumors with that of healthy peers. News-Medical.Net (8/22)
