In recent years, the number of child and adolescent brain tumor survivors has significantly increased with an improvement in outcome, although motor, sensory, cognitive and psychological sequelae persist (Sklar,2002;Siffert etal.,1999;LeBaron et al.,1998).
I was reading this study because recently I had the opportunity to meet a lovely, young, lady who has had four surgeries on her right frontal lobe caused by brain cancer. If the lobotomy operations that they performed on mental patients in institutions years ago were anything like her operations, then they were happy people. She is a very happy, funny young lady-but also, a bit slow in her thinking and actions.
