Radiosurgery for large brain tumors and metastases
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests a special high-dose radiation treatment for people who have up to two large brain tumors (metastases) and possibly other smaller ones. The treatment aims to control the tumors while limiting radiation to healthy brain tissue.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have no more than two large brain tumors from cancer that has spread
- You have up to 10 brain tumors total (including the large ones), and they haven't been treated before or are growing after previous treatment
- You are at least 18 years old
- You are well enough to be up and about (score 0-2 on a standard scale)
- Your doctor expects you to live longer than 3 months

This trial compares two types of radiation for people with small cell lung cancer that has spread to the brain (10 or fewer spots). One approach uses focused radiation only on the tumors, the other treats the whole brain while trying to protect memory. The goal is to see which works better with fewer side effects.
This study tests a type of radiation called stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) given right after surgery to remove a brain tumor. The goal is to see if it helps control the tumor with fewer side effects.
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 study tests a type of radiation treatment for people with one or more brain tumors that are larger than usual (2 to 5 centimeters). It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective, and may be an option if you are not having immediate surgery.
This trial tests giving powerful, precise radiation (stereotactic radiosurgery) to large brain tumors before surgery, then using more radiation after surgery. It aims to see if this approach can control the tumor better while reducing side effects.
This trial tests giving focused radiation (radiosurgery) before surgery for certain resectable brain metastases. It may help shrink or control tumors in the brain before they are surgically removed.
