Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are children aged 6 to 16 years with a diagnosis of solid tumors who have completed their initial treatment.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with other mental retardation-associated pathologies or those who are non-French speaking may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to evaluate the neurocognitive risks associated with solid tumors in children aged 6 to 16 years. It focuses on identifying factors that contribute to neurocognitive sequelae, including treatment types, tumor characteristics, and environmental influences such as socio-economic status. The study will utilize various assessment tools, including the WISC-V and NEPSY-II, to establish a scoring system for evaluating these risks. The goal is to better understand how these factors interplay and affect cognitive outcomes in young cancer patients.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved risk assessment and tailored interventions for neurocognitive issues in children recovering from solid tumors.
How similar studies have gone: While there have been studies on neurocognitive outcomes in pediatric cancer patients, this specific approach to scoring risks based on multiple factors is relatively novel.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patient aged 6 to 16 years and 11 months during the study period * Type of pathology: solid tumor * Place of treatment and follow-up: Gustave Roussy * Minimum time from the end of the initial treatment: * For patients who have not received treatment with methotrexate: 6 months * For patients being treated with methotrexate: none * Obtaining the non-opposition of parents / legal representatives * Affiliation to a social security scheme.
