Abstract
Research into childhood cancer and the neuropsychological effects on them, provides a great insight into the long- term developmental and cognitive impacts that survivors among several types of cancer go through. It can lead to various chronic difficulties such as memory loss, attention deficits, language impairments, motor problems and executive skills among others which are crucial for leading an independent way of living especially in adult life. Since most treatments have been shown to have several impacts on the patients neuropsychological functioning, having a great insight into different types of therapies consequences is of great importance.
