Article Synopsis
  • Pediatric brain tumor survivors (PBTS) face neurocognitive challenges, particularly in working memory and processing speed, which may be related to white matter (WM) pathways in the brain.
  • The study involved 13 PBTS and 10 healthy controls (HC), examining their cognitive performance and using MRI to analyze WM microstructure.
  • Results indicated that PBTS had significantly lower neurocognitive performance and exhibited higher mean diffusivity in key WM areas, suggesting that these microstructure alterations are linked to their cognitive difficulties.

We found an average delay of longer than 2 years from first screening to diagnosis, with no significant differences observed by sex, race, or ethnicity.
