Summary
This study compares two ways of aiming radiation at brain tumors that have spread from other cancers. Half the participants get the standard extra 2 mm safety margin around each tumor, while the other half get no extra margin. The goal is to see if skipping the margin keeps tumors under control just as well, which could mean less radiation to healthy brain tissue. The study enrolls 166 adults with 1 to 5 small brain tumors.
