Students with intracranial tumours: The role of school in the improvement of the quality of life and in the rehabilitation of its late effects and treatments
Abstract
In this paper we describe “late effects” caused by the disease and treatment in children with intracranial tumors. Late effects cover many areas: medical, neurocognitive /educational and social/behavioral.
We believe that the school plays an important role in the prevention, assessment and rehabilitation of these consequences and contributes to improving the quality of life of children surviving an intracranial tumor. Their work must be interdisciplinary, requiring the coordinated action of the health and education services and the collaboration of the family.
