Summary
This study compares two radiation treatments for people whose non-melanoma cancer has spread to the brain with 4 to 15 tumors. One method, stereotactic radiosurgery, delivers a high dose only to the tumors, while the other treats the whole brain. The goal is to see which better controls tumors and causes fewer memory and thinking problems. About 88 adults with newly diagnosed brain metastases are participating.
