Elekta says phase 2 trial shows Gamma Knife preserves cognition in patients with up to 50 brain metastases
  • Elekta reported new phase 2 data already presented at ASTRO on Leksell Gamma Knife use in patients with up to 50 brain metastases.
  • The study found memory performance remained favorable two months after treatment, supporting a cognitive-sparing profile for focal radiosurgery.
  • Investigators saw no meaningful difference in time to cognitive decline between patients with 21 to 50 tumors versus 5 to 20.
  • Results could broaden the addressable market for Gamma Knife in multi-metastasis cases, challenging reliance on whole-brain radiation.
