Diagnosis of central nervous system tumours in children

Diagnostic delay of central nervous system tumours in children has serious implications for the children and their families. Dr. Ran Goldman, Pediatrician at BC Children's Hospital, Professor of Pediatrics at the University of British Columbia and Chief Medical Officer for the website medschoolforparents.com, discusses how practitioners can maintain a high index of suspicion for these rare tumours, yet not overinvestigate benign conditions. Dr. Goldman co-authored a review article on pediatric central nervous system tumours published in CMAJ.Full review article: www.cmaj.ca/lookup/doi/10.1503/cmaj.160074To request a transcript of this podcast, contact [email protected] to CMAJ Podcasts on Apple Podcasts or your favourite podcast app. You can also follow us directly on our SoundCloud page or you can visit www.cmaj.ca/page/multimedia/podcasts.Comments or questions?
