About 40% of patients with brain metastases who experienced cognitive decline after brain radiation therapy regained full cognitive function within 6 months following treatment, a new analysis found.

Proton therapy and image-guided precision have improved outcomes for primary brain tumor patients by minimizing toxicity and enhancing targeting accuracy. Multidisciplinary collaboration, involving ...

In patients with 5-20 brain metastases, stereotactic radiation improved symptoms and reduced interference with daily functioning compared to hippocampal-avoidance whole brain radiation. The weighted ...

A new study led by investigators from Mass General Brigham trialed stereotactic (targeted) brain-directed radiation in 100 patients with small cell lung cancer and brain metastases, finding they ...
