    About This Study

    The purpose of this study is to find out if giving radiation before surgery can improve the length of time without the cancer in your brain returning or getting worse. We want to see if this approach is better or worse than the usual approach.

    Need volunteers who will be having surgery to treat cancer that has spread to the brain. After surgery, the doctor will continue to follow your condition and watch you for side effects every 3 months for 2 years, then every 6 months for 2 years. Study team will discuss study details with you.
