First seen Jan 12, 2026 · Last updated May 08, 2026 · Updated 12 times

Summary

This study looks at how proton beam radiation affects brain networks and thinking skills in children and young adults (ages 6-25) treated for brain tumors. Researchers will use special MRI scans taken at rest and compare them with cognitive tests and quality-of-life surveys. Both patients who had radiation and healthy volunteers will take part to see if the treatment causes lasting changes in the brain.
