Proton beam radiation for abdominal neuroblastoma
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial uses a precise type of proton beam radiation to treat children with neuroblastoma in the belly area. The goal is to see how well this targeted radiation works and to monitor its side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You or your parent/guardian must sign a consent form agreeing to the study and data collection.
- If you are female and able to have children, you must agree to use effective birth control during the study.

This trial studies whether proton radiotherapy can treat primary brain (and sometimes spine) tumors in adults. You may join because your tumor type and situation fit specific diagnoses, including some cases needing a re-treatment plan.
This trial tests a new type of targeted radiation treatment for children and adults with neuroblastoma that has come back or not responded to other treatments. The radiation is attached to a substance that seeks out neuroblastoma cells, aiming to destroy them while limiting harm to healthy tissue.
This trial studies proton radiation therapy for adults with certain benign or slow-growing brain tumors. It aims to see how well tumors can be controlled, and how treatment affects quality of life and side effects.
This trial tests a special type of proton radiation for people whose spine cancer has spread from another part of the body and cannot be treated effectively with standard X-ray radiation. The goal is to see if proton radiation can safely deliver a high dose of radiation to the tumor.
This study tests a new way to treat children with brain tumors using proton radiation (a precise type of radiation). It's designed to help the radiation target the tumor while protecting the spine and its ability to grow normally.
This trial uses a special PET scan called 18F-mFBG to take pictures of neuroblastoma tumors. It helps doctors see where the cancer is and whether treatment is working.
