Summary

This study tests whether giving whole brain radiation to people with small cell bladder cancer (a rare and aggressive type) can lower the chance of cancer spreading to the brain. Participants had already responded well to chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this preventive radiation keeps the brain tumor-free for at least a year. About 31 people took part in this Phase 2 trial.
