Summary

This early-phase study tested whether giving a type of precise radiation (stereotactic radiosurgery) after an immunotherapy drug (nivolumab) is safe and helps control tumors in people with breast cancer that has spread to the brain. Fourteen participants were enrolled to check for serious side effects like brain swelling or seizures. The goal was to see if this combination could improve treatment without causing major harm.
