Clinical Trial: A Phase II Trial of CyberKnife Radiosurgery to Perioptic Tumors

Study Status: Recruiting
Recruit Status: Unknown status
Study Type: Interventional




Official Title: A Phase II Study of Fractionated CyberKnife Stereotactic Radiosurgery to Perioptic Tumors

Brief Summary:

The purpose of this study is to find out what effects (good and bad) CyberKnife stereotactic radiosurgery has on tumors near the critical structures of the eye (optic apparatus).

The investigators hypothesize that hypofractionated stereotactic radiotherapy via the CyberKnife ® can deliver tumor ablating doses of radiation to perioptic lesions safely and effectively while sparing the adjacent optic apparatus and normal brain tissues from receiving damaging doses of radiation.
