Neuropsychological Late Effects
2006This chapter reviews neuropsychological late effects associated with childhood cancer and its treatment. The study of late effects presupposes that patients are long-term survivors, if not permanently cured, of their disease. Late effects are temporally defined as occurring after the successful completion of medical therapy, usually 2 or more years ...

This chapter deals with those biological consequences in the mammalian organism which show up long times after a radiation insult. The eye reacts rather sensitively in this respect by cataract formation. This is an important example of late effects other than cancer. Radiation-induced tumours form, of course, the most important class.
