Central Nervous System Tumors (Brain and Spinal Cord) - Childhood - Follow-Up Care
ON THIS PAGE: You will read about your child’s medical care after treatment is finished and why this follow-up care is important. Use the menu to see other pages.
Care for children diagnosed with a central nervous system (CNS) tumor does not end when active treatment has finished. Your child’s health care team will continue to check that the tumor has not come back, manage any side effects, and monitor your child’s overall health. This is called follow-up care. All children treated for a CNS tumor should have life-long, follow-up care.
