Neuroinflammation following stereotactic radiosurgery-induced brain tumor disintegration is linked to persistent cognitive decline in a mouse model of metastatic disease

Improved efficacy of anti-cancer therapy and a growing pool of survivors give rise to a question about their quality of life and return to premorbid status. Radiation is effective in brain metastasis eradication, though the optimal approach and long-term effects on brain function are largely unknown. Here, we studied the effects of radiosurgery on brain function.
