Research finds links between diabetes and neurocognitive impairments in pediatric cancer survivors, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions.
Pediatric cancer survivors may face elevated risk for developing diabetes mellitus, which may independently contribute to long‐term neurocognitive impairments outside of the effects of cranial irradiation. Webster et al. (2025) provide initial findings regarding this association using self‐report data from the Childhood Cancer Survivorship Study, emphasizing the need for future research to explore underlying mechanisms, bolster findings with performance‐based assessment methods, and develop targeted interventions for this vulnerable population.
