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

Summary

This study looks at how radiation therapy for brain tumors can affect memory and thinking skills. Researchers will follow 75 adults with slow-growing brain tumors who are getting partial brain radiation. They will use MRI scans and memory tests before treatment and at 6 and 12 months after to see which brain areas are most affected by radiation. The goal is to create better guidelines to protect memory during future treatments.
