New trial tests if proton beam therapy spares brain function better than standard X-Rays
Disease control Recruiting nowThis phase 3 trial compares proton beam therapy to standard photon radiotherapy in 156 adults with primary brain tumors. The goal is to see if proton therapy, which delivers less radiation to healthy brain tissue, improves functional survival—meaning living longer without tumor r…
