Evaluation of follow-up care for patients with brain cancer
Official title: Standard Follow-up Program (SFP) for Neuro-oncology Cancer Patients Treated With Radiotherapy
Run by University Medical Center Groningen · NCT06528912 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is trying to see how well follow-up care works for brain cancer patients after they receive radiation treatment, to help improve their outcomes and future therapies.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are patients diagnosed with neuro-oncological cancer who are scheduled to receive a specific dose of radiotherapy.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who do not meet the inclusion criteria or are not receiving the specified radiotherapy dose may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to standardize the evaluation of baseline data related to tumor, patient, and treatment characteristics, as well as follow-up data on tumor and clinical outcomes for neuro-oncology patients treated with radical radiotherapy. The study seeks to address the current knowledge gap regarding dose-effect relationships in brain tissues, which is crucial for optimizing patient selection for proton therapy and improving treatment techniques. By gathering comprehensive data, the study hopes to enhance understanding of treatment outcomes and inform future innovations in radiation therapy.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved selection criteria for radiation therapy, resulting in better treatment outcomes for patients with neurological cancers.
How similar studies have gone: While there is limited data on this specific approach, similar studies focusing on dose-effect relationships in radiation therapy have shown promise in improving treatment outcomes.
