Mask-free radiation for brain tumor patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests whether brain tumor patients can safely receive radiation therapy without wearing a face mask. The goal is to see if it is a more comfortable and feasible option.

This trial compares two ways of giving radiation for head and neck cancer: with a custom face mask or with a new camera-guided system (no mask). The goal is to see which approach works better and is more comfortable for patients.
This trial tests giving targeted radiation while surgeons are operating to treat brain metastases. It may help control the cancer locally at the time of surgery, especially for certain single lesions.
This trial tests whether guided meditation can help people with brain tumors feel better during radiation therapy. You'll be randomly assigned to either meditation sessions or standard care, and researchers will see how it affects your well-being.
This study tests a precise, targeted radiation technique for people with lung cancer that has spread to the brain. It aims to treat these brain tumors effectively while limiting harm to healthy tissue, which may help control the cancer and maintain quality of life.
This trial tests a type of radiation therapy given directly during brain surgery to remove a malignant tumor. The goal is to see if it is safe and effective in treating the tumor right at the time of surgery.
This study tests a new way to plan and deliver radiation therapy for glioblastoma (an aggressive brain tumor) using special MRI scans to target cancer cells more precisely. The goal is to improve treatment effectiveness while reducing harm to healthy brain tissue.
