Brief Summary:
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if proton beam therapy with or without photon beam radiation therapy is effective in the treatment of skull base chordoma The safety of this treatment will also be studied
Detailed Description:
Proton therapy is a kind of external beam radiation therapy where protons are directed to a tumor site Researchers are trying to determine what level of proton therapy gives the most benefit without causing toxic side effects Researchers will also be testing the treatments effect
If your doctor feels it is necessary the proton beam therapy may be combined with standard photon therapy
If you are eligible to take part in this study you will receive proton beam therapy at The University of Texas UT MD Anderson Cancer Center MDACC and possibly photon beam no sooner than 2 weeks after the last surgery to remove the tumor You will receive proton beam therapy once a day for about 35 treatments 7 weeks Treatment will be given for 5 days in a row each week except for Saturdays Sundays and holidays at the MDACC Proton Center in Houston The whole process should take up to 1 hour each day
This is an investigational study The proton beam machine used to deliver treatment is approved by the FDA for patient use The doses being studied are experimental About 15 participants will take part in this study All will be enrolled at MDACC
