Children who survive a brain tumor have a very high body fat content

A new medical finding is not happy for children who survive a brain tumor that is causing a stir among the medical world.

Accordingly, researchers at McMaster University in Ontario, Canada have announced that children who survive brain tumors have extremely high levels of fat in their bodies, increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke. stroke, even type 2 diabetes is very easy to die early.

Dr. M. Constantine Samaan, a cardiologist, said: " These new findings suggest that many other factors can cause heart disease, type 2 diabetes and cause feverish children to survive. Brain tumors are also very easy to die early . '

This result again shows that children who survived brain tumors should be closely monitored for the factors that contribute to cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes from which can increase the quality of survival for children. has passed through the brain tumor once.

The research has just been published in Scientific Reports.
