Post-therapy rehabilitation

Dealing with the complications of disease and the late effects of therapy is as challenging and equally important as treating the cancer itself. Many specialties are involved in the care of a child with a brain tumor after end-of-treatment such as neurology, endocrinology, ophthalmology, physiotherapy, and psychiatry. Such care is important in order to reduce the late effects of therapy which negatively reflect on the future life of the child and pose an extra burden on the healthcare service in Egypt.
