Brain scans after radiation may spot hidden cancer early
NCT ID NCT05692635
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether regular MRI scans of the brain after radiation therapy can find cancer that has spread to the brain before it causes symptoms. About 60 adults with stage III non-squamous lung cancer will get brain MRIs at set times. The goal is to see if this monitoring reduces the number of patients who develop symptoms from brain metastases.
