Brain cancer trial tests precision radiation to protect memory
NCT ID NCT01592968
Summary
This study compares two types of radiation therapy for patients with 4 to 15 brain metastases from cancers other than melanoma. One method targets tumors precisely with a single high dose, while the other treats the entire brain with lower doses over two weeks. Researchers want to see which approach better controls tumors while causing fewer thinking and memory problems.
