First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 16 times
Summary
This study compares two radiation techniques for people with 1 to 5 brain tumors that have spread from other cancers. Half the participants will receive standard radiation with a 2 mm safety margin, while the other half will get radiation with no extra margin. The goal is to see if skipping the margin affects how long the tumors stay under control. Results will help doctors deliver more precise treatment with fewer side effects.
