First seen May 04, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study tests a special way of giving whole-brain radiation (called pulsed reduced dose-rate) to people with brain metastases. The goal is to see if this method can protect memory and thinking while still treating the tumors. About 53 adults with solid tumors that spread to the brain will receive 10 daily treatments. The main focus is whether patients can complete the full course of radiation as planned.
