Radiation showdown: which schedule best fights childhood brain cancer?

This study tested two different ways of giving radiation to children and teens (ages 4–21) with a common brain tumor called medulloblastoma that hasn't spread. The goal was to see if giving smaller, more frequent doses (hyperfractionated) works better than the standard once-daily schedule at keeping the cancer from coming back. While the treatment aims to control the disease, it is not a cure, and patients may need ongoing monitoring or additional therapies.
