How Brain Swelling Affects Cancer Treatment Success

Brain cancer is tough to beat. Doctors use special tools to fight it. One tool is stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). It zaps cancer with precise radiation. But sometimes, the brain swells around the tumor. This swelling is called perilesional edema (PLE). Does PLE make the treatment less effective? R
