Condition: Brain Tumor
Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL
Official Title: Cognitive Outcomes After Brain Substructure-informed Radiation Planning in Pediatric Patients
Brief Summary:
The goal of this trial is to determine whether it is possible to minimize radiation dose to parts of the brain that are important for thinking and learning in children who require radiation to treat their tumor, and if this will help reduce neurocognitive (thinking and learning) impairments in these patients.Patients with newly diagnosed brain or head and neck tumors who are having radiation therapy will have neurocognitive testing and MRI imaging (both research and for regular care) done as part of their…
