NCT ID NCT03508752

First seen Apr 02, 2026 · Last updated Apr 11, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study is testing a precise form of radiation called stereotactic radiosurgery for patients who have six or more brain tumors that have spread from cancer elsewhere in the body. The main goal is to see if this targeted approach causes less memory loss and thinking problems than traditional whole-brain radiation. Researchers will also check how well the treatment controls the tumors and monitor for side effects.
