New radiation technique aims to save Kids' memories from brain tumor treatment
NCT ID NCT04065776
Summary
This study is testing whether a specialized form of radiation therapy, called proton therapy, can be carefully delivered to treat brain tumors while avoiding a key memory center in the brain called the hippocampus. The main goal is to see if this 'hippocampal avoidance' approach is technically possible and if it helps preserve memory and thinking skills in children and young adults with low-grade gliomas. Researchers will follow participants for up to 5 years to see if the treatment controls the tumor and protects long-term brain function.
