Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
The Postopera tive Quality of Life in Children and Adolescents with Craniopharyngioma.
Craniopharyngioma is a tumor of low histological malignancy resulting from an anomaly of embryonic development. Affected children and adolescents are being studied with respect to their quality of life, progression-free survival, and overall survival in the framework of the ongoing KRANIOPHARYNGEOM 2007 project. ⋯ Hypothalamus-sparing treatment approaches are recommended to optimize the quality of life of children and adolescents with cranio- pharyngioma. The available evidence does not support any recommendation as to when radiotherapy should be performed after incomplete resection so that the best quality of life can be achieved.
