Brain scans track hidden damage from cancer treatment

NCT ID NCT05128903

Summary

This study aims to understand how radiation therapy for brain tumors causes inflammation in the brain. Researchers will use special PET scans and optional MRI scans on 22 children with medulloblastoma to measure this inflammation over two years. The goal is to learn how this inflammation relates to radiation dose and future thinking and memory problems.
