Precision proton blast: new hope for tough brain tumors

NCT ID NCT02693990

Summary

This study is testing whether a more focused, higher-dose form of proton radiation can better control aggressive brain tumors called meningiomas. It involves 21 adults with specific types of these tumors that have been partially or fully removed by surgery. The main goal is to find the highest safe dose that effectively targets the tumor while sparing healthy brain tissue.
