First seen Nov 12, 2025 · Last updated Apr 29, 2026 · Updated 22 times
Summary
This study looks at whether a newer, more precise type of proton therapy can effectively treat craniopharyngioma, a rare brain tumor, while causing fewer side effects than older radiation methods. The trial includes children and young adults (ages 0-21) whose tumor was not completely removed by surgery. Researchers will track how long participants live without the tumor growing back and compare complication rates to historical data.
