First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study follows 110 people with brain metastases who are receiving either focused or whole-brain radiation. Researchers use advanced MRI scans and memory tests before treatment and for two years after to see if the scans can predict thinking and memory problems. The goal is to find early warning signs of cognitive decline, not to test a new treatment.
