NCT ID NCT04516070
First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated May 24, 2026 · Updated 26 times
Summary
This study looks at whether using a precise, targeted form of radiation (stereotactic radiosurgery) instead of whole-brain radiation can help preserve brain function in people with small cell lung cancer that has spread to the brain. About 55 participants with up to 10 brain tumors will receive the focused treatment. The goal is to see if this approach causes fewer thinking and memory side effects while still controlling the cancer.
