Neuroendocrine late effects after tailored photon radiotherapy for children with low grade gliomas: Long term correlation with tumour and treatment parameters.

CONCLUSION: Radiotherapy showed excellent OS and PFS rates and acceptable late neuroendocrine toxicity profile in this population of LGG patients treated over a period of 13years. In our experience, the dose to the HPA was predictive of the risk of late endocrine toxicity.
