The field of radiation oncology has advanced in brain cancer treatment with precise therapeutic approaches including proton and carbon therapy. The field of radiation oncology in relation to brain ...

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

The James Cancer Hospital's innovative procedure places short-range radiation directly into glioblastoma tumors, addressing ...

A new study offers hope for brain cancer patients facing memory loss from radiotherapy. By blocking a single immune receptor, scientists preserved cognition in mice without dulling the cancer-killing ...

DEAR MAYO CLINIC: I have been diagnosed with a brain tumor and advised to have radiation therapy. I’m very nervous about this and the risks for me, my family and, potentially, another cancer diagnosis ...

Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is increasingly used to treat brain metastases. The technique uses advanced, computer-guided imaging to deliver a highly targeted and intense dose of photon radiation.

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 ...

While tremendous relief comes from successfully battling cancer, survivors can also experience cognitive impairments caused by the disease and its treatment. Up to 70% of survivors experience trouble ...

A phase 2 trial found that compared with whole brain radiation (WBRT), stereotactic radiation reduced neurologic deaths in patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and 1-10 brain metastases. SCLC ...
