New hope for tots: gentler brain cancer treatment aims to save lives and protect minds
NCT ID NCT00602667
Summary
This study tested a treatment plan for children under 5 with aggressive brain tumors.

The goal was to control the cancer while aiming to reduce long-term learning and thinking problems.
