This study looked at two types of brain radiation for people with small cell lung cancer that had spread. One method treated the whole brain, while the other tried to avoid the memory center (hippocampus) to reduce thinking and memory side effects. The trial enrolled 418 patients…

This early-stage study tested a precise, high-dose radiation technique called SBRT in 42 adults with breast, lung, or prostate cancer that had spread to several places in the body. The main goal was to find the safest dose and check for side effects. Researchers hope this approac…
