Summary

This protocol compares the toxicity of radiotherapy or radiochemotherapy applied with different radiation modalities - protons or photons. Patients with different kinds of brain tumours and foreseen high-dose radiotherapy can be included. The hypothesis of the trial is that the rate of chronic toxicity 1 year after the end of radiotherapy is 15% lower after proton compared to photon treatment.
