Dose Escalation Trial of Neoadjuvant Radiosurgery for the Treatment of Metastatic Brain Tumors (NCT03163368)
A Phase 1 Dose Escalation Trial of Neoadjuvant Radiosurgery for the Treatment of Metastatic Brain Tumors
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The purpose of this study is to study if giving radiation to a brain tumor (a procedure called radiosurgery) before neurosurgery (surgery to remove the tumor) will help to keep brain tissue healthy, while possibly eliminating the need to return for radiation once a patient has healed from neurosurgery. This study will also seek the best radiation dose on a brain tumor based on how well the radiation therapy works and asses the side-effects.
