Summary

This study tests whether adding a 2mm safety margin around brain tumors during radiosurgery (a precise radiation treatment) works better than no margin. About 180 adults with brain metastases up to 4cm will be randomly assigned to one of the two margin sizes. The goal is to see which approach better controls tumors while reducing side effects.
