NCT ID NCT04324450
First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 37 times
Summary
This study used MRI scans and memory tests to see how radiation therapy affects memory in children, adolescents, and young adults who were treated for brain cancer. Researchers looked at the hippocampus and cerebellum, two brain areas important for memory and learning. The goal was to better understand radiation's impact on thinking skills so future treatments can be safer.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could help doctors design safer radiation plans that better protect memory and thinking skills in children treated for brain cancer.
What could go wrong
This is an early exploratory study with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. It measures brain structure and memory, not a new treatment.
