Zapping brain tumors without harming memory: new hope for advanced melanoma

This study looks at whether a focused radiation treatment called stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) can control melanoma that has spread to more than 3 areas in the brain while also protecting memory and thinking skills. About 49 adults with advanced melanoma and multiple brain tumors will receive a single high-dose radiation session directly to each tumor. The goal is to see if this approach can stop tumor growth and keep patients' minds sharp, offering a less damaging option than whole-brain radiation.
