Cognitive predictors of social adjustment in pediatric brain tumor survivors treated with photon versus proton radiation therapy.

June 2022
Executive summary

This study compared the neurocognitive results of patients who received PRT (n = 38) or XRT (n = 20) at least one year after radiotherapy. This study found that the XRT group performed worse than the PRT group on measures of processing speed (p = .01) and verbal memory (p < .01); however, social outcomes with impairment in peer relations and social skills did not differ by radiation type.
