New approach fights brain tumors with radiation before surgery
NCT ID NCT03368625
Summary
This study tested whether giving targeted radiation before surgery helps control large brain tumors that have spread from other cancers. Thirty patients with 1-6 brain tumors, where at least one needed surgical removal, received precise radiation treatment first, followed by surgery. Researchers wanted to see if this sequence reduces complications and improves tumor control compared to the usual approach of surgery followed by radiation.
