Tracking Brain Tumor Outcomes After Radiation Implant Surgery

This study tracks patients who have received GammaTile radiation implants — small, permanent devices placed in the brain immediately after tumor removal surgery. Researchers will follow your recovery over five years to understand how well this treatment controls the tumor, how it affects quality of life, and what side effects patients experience. This is the first large study to collect real-world outcomes from people treated with this specific radiation approach.

Brain tumor surgery is challenging, and doctors want to find the safest and most effective ways to prevent tumors from coming back after removal. This treatment combines surgery with immediate radiation delivered directly to the surgical site, and researchers need to understand whether this approach offers benefits over standard treatments and what risks patients should know about.
