Table 6 Spearman's correlations related to resected volume (tumor + margin in cc), age at surgery and time elapsed between surgery and evaluation variables and all assessed neuropsychological variables for the astrocytoma and medulloblastoma groups.

From: Differential prefrontal-like deficit in children after cerebellar astrocytoma and medulloblastoma tumor
