The team at @QUT co-curated an art exhibition on experiences of childhood brain tumour reported in @TheLancetOncol: "...to see their daughter's artwork and to have had the opportunity to share a part of their experience in a way that resonated with them" https://t.co/9Yd2EVfrwz
So pleased to see this paper exploring quality of life, family functioning and the impacts of socioeconomic status and tumour characteristics on families of children with a brain tumour. We need more papers like this. Bravo @Researcher_Kate https://t.co/5EIC5HBzgI
We also found an interaction between family functioning and tumour grade, with family functioning improving for those with a high grade tumour and becoming more problematic for those with a low grade tumour. #braintumour
