NCT ID NCT03750227

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

Summary

This study looks at whether giving focused radiation before or after surgery works better for people with brain tumors that started elsewhere in the body. About 140 adults with one brain tumor that can be removed will be randomly assigned to get radiation either before or after surgery. The goal is to see which timing causes fewer side effects and helps patients live longer.
