Official title Prospective Evaluation of Pencil Beam Scanning Proton Therapy for Previously Irradiated Tumors
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05313191
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- The goal of this clinical research trial is to study the use of differing investigational doses and scheduling for Proton Therapy for tumors previously treated with radiation therapy. Generally, when patients are first treated for cancer with radiation therapy, they are treated with traditional photon (or x-ray) radiation therapy, which uses high-energy waves to kill tumor cells.
