Study tests new radiation timing for Kids' brain cancer

NCT ID NCT01351870

Summary

This completed international trial compared two different schedules of radiation therapy for children and young adults (ages 4-21) with standard-risk medulloblastoma, a type of brain tumor. All participants received the same chemotherapy, but were randomly assigned to receive radiation either once a day or twice a day. The main goal was to see if the twice-daily schedule improved survival without the cancer returning.
