Precision radiation zaps brain tumors, aims to spare memory
NCT ID NCT04516070
Summary
This study is testing a focused form of radiation, called stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), for patients with small cell lung cancer that has spread to the brain. The goal is to see if targeting only the specific tumor spots, instead of radiating the whole brain, can better preserve patients' memory and thinking skills. Researchers will follow 55 patients to compare cognitive outcomes and tumor control between this targeted approach and the standard whole-brain treatment.
