Summary
This study looks at whether giving focused radiation before or after surgery works better for people with cancer that has spread to the brain. About 140 adults who need surgery for a brain tumor will be randomly assigned to receive stereotactic radiosurgery either before or after their operation. The goal is to see which timing causes fewer side effects and helps patients live longer.
