Central nervous system tumors
Brain tumors represent 30% of infancy and adolescence tumors.
At our Unit they represent one of the most common diseases since they are often referred from other centers and second opinion consultations.
The care of infants and adolescents who have been diagnosed with brain tumor requires high specialization in diagnostic, therapeutic and rehabilitation methods in order not only to heal the disease but also to minimize as much as possible the consequences which derive from the disease or from its treatment.
