Sponsor's own description

Brain tumors are the second most frequent malignant diseases in children and adolescents. In the study the short and medium term consequences of proton therapy on cognitive processes in particular on executive functions in pediatric patients shall be highlighted/analysed/evalutated. In a second step, these results are to be compared with 1. a group of children and adolescents who had only /exclusively had operative therapy and 2. with a healthy control group. Thus, the extent to which these treatment options differ in terms of their short and medium-term effect is assessed. Methods of neurocognitive/neurophysiology brain research approaches are applied that may potentially visualize even small / subtle changes in mental activities/neurocognitive function. Therefore the effects of treatment can be evaluated and the neuropsychological outcome of children and adolescents with brain tumors can be improved.
