Zapping brain tumors before surgery shows promise in early trial
NCT ID NCT03368625
First seen Mar 08, 2026 · Last updated May 19, 2026 · Updated 14 times
Summary
This study tested a new approach for people with large brain metastases (tumors that spread to the brain from other cancers). Instead of surgery first, patients received focused radiation before surgery to remove the tumor. The goal was to see if this order reduces side effects and improves tumor control. The trial included 30 adults with 1 to 6 brain tumors, at least one large enough to need surgery.
