Summary

This study looks at two types of radiation for people with 4 to 15 brain tumors that have spread from other cancers. One is a precise, short treatment called CyberKnife, and the other is whole-brain radiation given over 10 sessions. The goal is to see which approach helps patients live longer and feel better with fewer side effects.
