NCT ID NCT04968990
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a precise type of radiation called proton beam therapy can treat Wilms tumor while causing less damage to healthy tissue. About 260 children with newly diagnosed Wilms tumor who need abdominal radiation will take part. The goal is to see if this approach helps the body grow more normally on the treated side and still keeps the cancer under control.
