Summary
This study will follow 40 adults with brain tumors who are scheduled for standard brain radiotherapy. Researchers will collect blood samples, perform brain scans, and give thinking and quality-of-life tests before and after treatment. The goal is to identify biological markers that may explain why some people experience memory or concentration problems after radiation.
