NCT ID NCT01346124
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 09, 2026 · Updated 27 times
Summary
This study tests a precise type of proton radiation (IMPT) for people with rare bone tumors called chordomas or chondrosarcomas in the spine, sacrum, or skull base. The goal is to see if this high-dose radiation, sometimes combined with surgery, can better control the tumor while reducing damage to healthy tissue. About 64 participants will receive this treatment, and researchers will track tumor control and side effects over time.
