First seen Feb 20, 2026 · Last updated Apr 25, 2026 · Updated 11 times

Summary

This study looks at whether a precise type of radiation, called stereotactic radiosurgery, can prevent brain tumors from coming back after surgery. About 132 people with up to 3 brain metastases will either receive this radiation or be watched closely. The goal is to see if the radiation improves local control and survival without causing more side effects.
