New proton 'Grid' therapy targets bulky tumors

NCT ID NCT05121545

Summary

This early-stage study is testing a new proton radiation technique called Pro-GRID for patients with large, difficult-to-treat tumors. The method delivers radiation in a grid pattern to try to shrink tumors while sparing healthy tissue. Researchers aim to see if this approach is safe and feasible, and whether it helps reduce tumor size in patients with sarcoma or melanoma.
