Doctors flip the script: zapping brain tumors *Before* cutting them out
NCT ID NCT04545814
Summary
This small pilot study tested a new order of treatment for patients with 1 to 4 brain tumors that have spread from other cancers. Instead of the usual surgery followed by radiation, researchers gave a precise, high-dose radiation treatment first, then performed surgery within 10 days. The goal was to see if this approach is safe and might better control the tumors while reducing serious side effects.
