 In recent years, childhood cancer survival has increased considerably, from 50% of children under the age of 20 in 1975 to a survival of 80% in 2010 (National Cancer Institute, www.cancer.gov). This increase in childhood cancer survival is due to more efficient chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgical treatments, which are also more aggressive. The aggressiveness of new treatments has a negative impact on children’s life quality, especially children with brain tumors, leukaemias and lymphomas. Additionally, side effects have also a negative impact on the social, emotional and academic development of children. More than 160,000 children are diagnosed with cancer worldwide each year, which means that each year there are more than 128,000 survivors of childhood cancer who have neurocognitive side effects. The number is important enough for this issue to deserve special attention, especially taking into account that the number of cancer diagnoses per year increases by an average of 0.6%.

 A deep analysis of the language and cognitive difficulties after oncological treatment will allow us to go deeper into the way in which we can help cancer survivors so that these difficulties do not impair their cognitive development and, therefore, they are not socially isolated.

 The 1st HERO International Conference on Neurocognitive long-term Effects of Childhood Cancer Treatment will be held from November 24th to 26th, 2016 in Seville (Spain). This Conference is intended to be a forum for multidisciplinary research and its main goal is to provide a broad coverage and dissemination of foundational research on side-effects of childhood cancer treatment among researchers, academics, practitioners, educators, cancer survivors and relatives.
