Summary
This trial is examining the effect of neuropsychological evaluation and intervention on quality of life and cognitive function in cancer patients who have received radiation therapy to the brain.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for English-speaking adults with stage IV solid tumors and brain metastases, who haven't had whole-brain radiation before. They should have a life expectancy of over 6 months. It's not for those with multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's, dementia, or mental disabilities.
What is being tested?
The study tests if neuropsychological care by certified experts can help maintain quality of life after radiation therapy in patients with cancer that has spread to the brain. It involves assessments and questionnaires about cognitive function and well-being.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on evaluations rather than medications or invasive treatments, side effects are minimal but may include stress or discomfort from discussing personal health issues during assessments.
