First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 29 times
Summary
This study tests a precise type of proton radiation called IMPT for people with rare tumors of the spine, sacrum, or skull base (chordoma or chondrosarcoma). About 64 participants receive high-dose radiation, sometimes combined with surgery, to see if it controls the tumor while reducing side effects. The goal is to improve local tumor control without harming nearby healthy tissue.
