NCT ID NCT04516070
First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated Apr 22, 2026 · Updated 25 times
Summary
This study is testing a more focused radiation treatment for patients whose small cell lung cancer has spread to the brain. Instead of radiating the entire brain, which can cause side effects like memory problems, doctors use precise beams to target only the tumors. The goal is to see if this targeted approach controls the cancer while better preserving patients' thinking and memory abilities.
