Abstract
Brain tumors are the second most common childhood cancer. Treatment protocols for high-grade pediatric brain tumors recommend regular follow-up imaging for up to 10 years. We review maximal time to recurrence and minimal time to radiologically detectable long-term sequelae such as secondary malignancies, vascular complications, and white matter disease. No tumors recurred after the 10-year point, but radiological long-term sequelae grew more common as the treatment completion date receded. We do not recommend regular imaging more than 10 years after treatment has ended, unless there are clinical symptoms.
