This video Presentation was recorded at the Brain Tumour National Conference in Toronto, Ontario on Saturday, October 20th, 2018 with Dr. Adam Fleming.

Session Outline:
Survivors of childhood brain tumours often face serious side-effects from chemotherapy, radiation and surgery that is necessary to treat them. Some of these we understand very well, others we are just starting to understand better as treatments improve and people are living longer. This session will look at the late effects, how they affect children and young adults, and how we may be able to influence this impact in the future.

Learning Objectives:
1. To understand the most common side effects of brain tumour treatment.
2. To understand how treatment impacts the endocrine and metabolic systems long term.
3. To learn how research may help us avoid or better manage treatment and tumour effects.
