Significance of the Treatment Environment in Conventional Therapy of Pediatric Brain Tumors

Abstract

  The literature to date has described the disease concept, the latest findings, and advanced treatments for the treatment of pediatric brain tumors, which are intractable rare diseases. Currently, there are many opportunities to discuss the medical system in terms of the issue of autonomous support for children, which focus on “issues of transitional medical care associated with the treatment of pediatric malignant tumors.” This time, we will end from the time lag problem from the onset of the first sign to the first medical examination in neurosurgery, the hospitalization treatment, the treatment environment problem during the hospitalization treatment period, the problem in returning to school after recovery and discharge, or the worsening of the condition. There is a period before a patient has the initial consultation with a neurosurgeon. The duration from initial pediatric consultation through to neurosurgery is an issue. We would like to share the issues facing the pediatric brain tumor treatment environment during the period leading up to this stage.
