Proton Beam Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Low Grade Gliomas
Completed · Phase 1/Phase 2
Conditions studied: Adult Brain Tumor, Adult Brain Stem Glioma, Adult Diffuse Astrocytoma, Adult Ependymoma, Adult Grade II Meningioma, Adult Melanocytic Lesion, Adult Meningeal Hemangiopericytoma, Adult Mixed Glioma, Adult Oligodendroglioma, Adult Pineal Gland Astrocytoma, Adult Pineocytoma, Recurrent Adult Brain Tumor
In brief
RATIONALE: Specialized radiation therapy, such as proton beam radiation therapy, that delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the best way to give proton beam radiation therapy and to see how well it works in treating patients with low grade gliomas.
