Long-term impact of prenatal exposure to chemotherapy on executive functioning: An ERP study.

CONCLUSIONS: This is the first study that demonstrates an effect of prenatal exposure to chemotherapy on the development of executive functioning, not limited to the effect of late-prematurity.
SIGNIFICANCE: This study emphasizes the necessity of a long-term follow-up of prenatal-exposed children to re-inform clinical practice on the costs and benefits of late-premature induction over treatment during pregnancy.
