An Overview of Exercise Based Neuro-Rehabilitation in Brain Tumor Survivors

Posted on February 7, 2013 by admin

Presentation Description: Brain tumors are the leading cause of death and disability from childhood disease in developed countries.  With treatment advances over the last 25 years, survival rates have improved dramatically.  However, survival is often achieved at considerable cost.  Cranial radiation is frequently required for effective tumor control, and associated with significant neuro-toxicity, including white matter damage and cognitive morbidity.  In order to achieve the best possible outcome for survivors and ultimately conquer the long-term consequences of this disease, new interventions must be developed to ameliorate the neuro-toxic effects experienced by children. This presentation provided an overview of an ongoing study of an exercise based neuro-rehabilitation program and preliminary findings were discussed.

Speaker:

Don Mabbott, Psychologist, PhD
University of Toronto, ON
The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, ON

2009 POGO Symposium on Childhood Cancer

Posted on February 5, 2013 by admin

Brain tumors in childhood present major challenges in treatment, and in the impact of the disease and its treatment on the quality of life of the patient and the family.  There has been substantial focus on understanding the mechanisms of disease, and on refining treatment and increasing awareness of the morbidity and of the social and developmental impacts of these tumors on the child and the family.

The 2009 POGO Multi-Disciplinary Symposium on Childhood Cancer – Childhood Brain Tumors: New Perspectives – considered aspects of causation, from a molecular and genetic perspective, surgical, radiation, and chemotherapeutic advances, new concepts in rehabilitation and mitigation of neurocognitive impact, particularities of psychosocial care for both patient and caregivers, the impacts on the developmental trajectory, and palliative care. In short, it offered a 360 degree view of childhood CNS tumors in 2009 – the whole patient and the context in which the brain tumor journey is undertaken.
