NCT ID NCT00186992
First seen Mar 09, 2026 · Last updated May 11, 2026 · Updated 8 times
Summary
This study tests a technique called image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) for children and young adults with bone or soft tissue tumors. IGRT uses detailed scans (CT, MRI, PET) to target the tumor very precisely, aiming to destroy the cancer while protecting healthy tissue. The goal is to see if this approach reduces tumor regrowth and limits side effects. About 202 participants are enrolled at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
