Brain radiation in childhood: early hormone check
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study follows children who had brain radiation for cancer to check for early hormone changes. It aims to catch and treat any hormone problems sooner.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 4 and 17 years old.
- You had radiation to part or all of the brain for cancer or a blood cancer before age 16.

- Your cancer is in remission or has been stable without treatment for at least 2 years.

This study looks at how children's bodies respond to radiation therapy for certain cancers. By analyzing blood samples, researchers hope to learn why some children experience more side effects, which could help personalize future treatments.
This study looks at how radiation from brain tumor treatment affects memory, attention, and thinking skills in children. It uses brain scans and tests to understand these effects.
This study looks at immune system signals in your blood during and after postoperative radiation therapy for certain head and neck cancers involving the brain or skull base. Researchers want to see whether these “immune markers” relate to treatment response or side effects.
This study looks for biomarkers in your blood that might predict how radiation treatment affects brain function. The goal is to understand and possibly reduce cognitive side effects.
This study looks at markers of brain injury in children with brain tumors who have or have not received radiation therapy, compared to healthy children. It aims to better understand how treatments affect the brain.
This trial tests a short course of radiation (fewer sessions) to help control symptoms from cancer that has spread to the brain or come back in the brain. It is for children and young adults whose cancer cannot be cured, and who are able to do some daily activities.
