Neuroendocrine Deficits and Weight Development Before and After Proton Therapy in Children With Craniopharyngioma
Panhypopituitarism is frequently observed in paediatric patients with craniopharyngioma prior to PBT. The potential benefits of early PBT on endocrine outcomes require further investigation through longer FU periods. The greatest increase in weight occurred before radiotherapy. Endocrine deficiencies and weight gain are multifactorial and require close monitoring.
