NCT ID NCT01644591
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 20, 2026 · Updated 29 times
Summary
This study looks at whether a focused, one-time radiation treatment called stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) can control melanoma that has spread to more than 3 spots in the brain, while also protecting memory and thinking skills. About 49 adults with advanced melanoma and multiple brain tumors will receive SRS. The goal is to see if this approach can stop tumor growth and reduce mental decline compared to standard treatments.
