Neuropsychological Functioning of Childhood Cancer: The Interplay Between Executive Functions and Emotionality
Abstract
The study examines the neuropsychology of childhood cancer, with neuropsychological development and executive functions being the main areas of interest. It first analyses the effects of cancer and treatments on memory, attention and self-regulation. Treatment methods are based mainly on chemotherapy and radiotherapy. In addition, the developmental effects at different stages of childhood are analysed to correlate with the prevention of deficits and to develop individualised treatment strategies. Psychosocial effects, occur in children who have had childhood cancer. These emotional difficulties contribute to social isolation, reduced self-esteem and deterioration in quality of life. Certain psychosocial interventions are necessary for the enhancement of psychological resilience and well-being. In this chapter, emphasis is placed on the importance of designing individualised teaching plans, so that they can be tailored and respond precisely to the needs of the individual child.
