Summary

This study looks at whether giving higher doses of focused radiation (stereotactic radiosurgery) to brain tumors is safe and effective, without also radiating the whole brain. It involves 135 adults with up to 10 brain tumors that have not been treated with radiation before. The goal is to find the highest safe dose to improve tumor control and survival.
