Summary

This study looks at whether a brain MRI is useful for people newly diagnosed with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer that has spread but does not yet cause brain symptoms. About 100 participants will get an MRI to check for hidden brain disease. The goal is to see if the scan changes how doctors plan treatment.
