| Description |
Brain tumors are the leading cause of death from childhood cancer. Overall survival has improved due to earlier detection, better therapies, and improved surveillance. Permanent sequelae of the tumor and its treatment may cause severe impairment and decreased QOL. Visual dysfunction and impaired vision-related QOL (VR-QOL) are often not recognized in children because of examination difficulty and lack of awareness. |
