Doctors test stronger radiation blasts for tough brain tumors
NCT ID NCT03412812
Summary
This study tested whether giving higher doses of a specialized, targeted radiation treatment over five sessions was safe and effective for patients with larger brain tumors that spread from other cancers. It involved 13 patients with brain metastases to find the maximum dose the body could tolerate without severe side effects. The goal was to better control these difficult-to-treat tumors while carefully monitoring patient safety.
