Precision radiation may spare brain function in lung cancer patients
NCT ID NCT04516070
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether using focused radiation (stereotactic radiosurgery) only on the brain tumors, instead of the whole brain, can help preserve thinking and memory in people with small cell lung cancer that has spread to the brain. About 55 participants will receive this targeted treatment. The goal is to see if this approach causes fewer side effects while still controlling the disease.
