The AEetc association (known as ETC Association) is a non-profit organisation of parents of children with cancer. Its main objective is to improve the quality of life of children with cancer and adolescents both during treatment and after treatment, when most side-effects start to appear. The life expectancy of a child diagnosed with cancer a few years ago was quite low. However, today many children survive cancer (around 80%) thanks, among other things, to early diagnosis, more precise surgery, more technologically advanced instruments and more effective chemotherapy, radiotherapy and immunotherapy treatments. New treatments are more effective, but they are also more aggressive, and they leave a mark on children. As life expectancy of children diagnosed with cancer has increased, important long-term side effects have also been identified. They significantly limit children's quality of life: cognitive, physical, emotional and, consequently, social effects. The name ETC has a double meaning. On the one had, it is the acronym in Spanish for "cancer treatment side-effects" (Efectos del Tratamiento del Cancer). On the other hand, ETC means the fight against cancer does not finish when treatment comes to an end. Instead, there is a long "ETC" after treatment that negatively affect our children's quality of life. Side effects are not exclusive to childhood cancer, but children are the most vulnerable group, since they are in the process of intellectual, physical and emotional development. In the case of children diagnosed with brain tumors, mainly those that have been treated with radiotherapy, the consequences are lifelong and progressive.
The Inter-professional Group of Rehabilitation in Neuropsychology (GIRN) We believe that neurorehabilitation effectiveness after acquired brain injury (ABI) depends on inter-professional competency. All health professionals who work in the field of neurorehabiliation, as well as students, can become a member of GIRN, in order to be educated and updated on knowledge in the field of ABI. By means of specific conferences and workshop, neuro-cognitive rehabilitative protocols and guidelines, are shared and discussed among participants. GIRN works in partnership with several public and private institutions, in line with European and worldwide guidelines in this field. Furthermore, GIRN considers not only the patients with acquired brain injury but also their caregivers, as well as the environment in accordance with a biopsychosocial, holistic rehabilitation approach. In particular, we address caregiver needs by means of psychoeducational interventions in order to improve the patient management and outcome. Our aim is to optimally support the family system by means of a network, which assists in reducing caregiver burden and distress particularly on community re-entry.
