Targeted whole-brain radiation for breast cancer that spread to the brain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests a newer, more targeted way to give whole-brain radiation for breast cancer that has spread to the brain. It aims to see if this approach can be as effective while causing fewer side effects compared to the standard whole-brain radiation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 16 years or older and live in the United Kingdom.
- You have breast cancer that has spread to the brain, confirmed by an MRI scan.
- Your doctor believes whole-brain radiation is the best treatment option for you (outside this trial).
- You are generally able to care for yourself (may need some help but are not bedridden).
- You can answer questions about your symptoms and quality of life over the phone.
- You are expected to live at least 3 more months (based on the cancer outside your brain).

This study tests a new type of radiation therapy (iHD-SRT) for people with brain metastases. It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective for treating tumors that have spread to the brain.
This Phase 2 study tests a treatment plan that combines whole-brain radiation therapy with an additional approach to help people with brain metastases. It aims to improve outcomes while also tracking brain function and memory over time.
This study tests a new way to plan and deliver radiation therapy for glioblastoma (an aggressive brain tumor) using special MRI scans to target cancer cells more precisely. The goal is to improve treatment effectiveness while reducing harm to healthy brain tissue.
This study tests a precise, targeted radiation technique for people with lung cancer that has spread to the brain. It aims to treat these brain tumors effectively while limiting harm to healthy tissue, which may help control the cancer and maintain quality of life.
This trial tests a special type of whole-brain radiation that aims to avoid the parts of the brain that control memory. It's for people with many brain tumors (6 or more) that haven't been treated with radiation before.
This Phase 2 trial tests a modified form of whole brain radiation to see if it can better protect thinking and memory in adults with brain metastases. You may join even if you’ve had other cancer treatments before, as long as your situation fits the study rules.
