First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 26 times
Summary
This study compares two radiation treatments for people whose cancer has spread to the brain (but not from melanoma). One method, stereotactic radiosurgery, targets only the tumors with a strong dose. The other, whole brain radiation, treats the entire brain with lower doses over several sessions. The goal is to see which better controls tumors and causes fewer memory and thinking problems. About 88 adults with 4 to 15 brain tumors are taking part.
