Sharper aim: new radiation technique seeks to spare healthy tissue in kids with tumors
NCT ID NCT00186992
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a precise radiation technique called image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) for children and young adults with bone or soft tissue tumors. By using CT, MRI, and PET scans to pinpoint the tumor, doctors aim to deliver radiation more accurately and reduce damage to healthy tissues. The study includes 202 participants and will track tumor control and side effects over 5 to 10 years.
