- What is JPA? JPA
is the most common form of childhood brain tumor that can happen to children and young adults at any time.
- Is JPA life threatening?
Unfortunately the answer is yes depending on the tumor location. Because JPA can be located near centers for vital signs,
thought, emotion & movement and sensory development. Also the side effects of Chemotherapy and radiotherapy can be devastating.
Children can also experience critical, long term neurologic impairments and side effects from current treatments.
- Is there research being done?
Unfortunately JPA's are critically under-researched and there is little funding identified for research
for JPA.
