Precision radiation aims to fight brain cancer while sparing the scalp
NCT ID NCT03251027
Summary
This study is testing a specialized, targeted form of radiation therapy for people with newly diagnosed brain tumors (gliomas). The goal is to see if this precise method can effectively treat the tumor while causing fewer side effects to the scalp, such as wound infections, hair loss, and thinning. Researchers will measure these side effects and how they impact quality of life in 100 participants.
