Abstract
- Endocrine dysfunction can be challenging to diagnose in children treated for brain tumors. Treatments are available for hormonal replacement and when necessary, hormonal suppression. Without these endocrine treatment regimens, life can be unnecessarily difficult or unpleasant. An endocrine survey can be used to screen at-risk neuro-oncology patients once or twice a year to facilitate the recognition of endocrine dysfunction. It is hoped that through the use of a routine screening program, physicians will be able to diagnose and begin treatment of endocrine problems in a time-efficient manner.
