Fourteen children with brain tumors received endocrine evaluations at least one year following completion of cranial irradiation. Treatment consisted of operation (13 patients), craniospinal irradiation (6), whole brain irradiation (li), posterior fossa irradiation (3), and chemotherapy (10). Endocr

This study prospectively evaluated the endocrine function of 11 children treated with cranial irradintion (CRT) for brain tumors. All tumors were remote from the hypothalamic-pituitary axis. Children were studied before treatment and at 3,6, and 12 months after the completion of CRT. T4, thyroid-sti
Monitoring of therapy-related late effects after acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) therapy in childhood has become an increasingly important area in posttherapeutic patient surveillance. The usefulness of conventional electro-encephalographic (EEG) investigations as part of these attempts is contro
