First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 20, 2026 · Updated 30 times
Summary
This pilot study tested a new order of treatment for people with brain metastases (cancer that spread to the brain). Instead of surgery first, patients received focused radiation (gamma knife) before surgical removal of the tumor. The study included 11 adults with 1 to 4 brain tumors. The main goal was to see if this approach is feasible and how many patients had no visible disease after treatment.
