This study investigates memory function in patients with brain metastasis who receive a specific type of radiotherapy called hippocampal avoidance during whole-brain radiotherapy (HA-WBRT). Brain metastasis refers to cancer that has spread to the brain from another part of the body. The study focuses on assessing delayed recall, which is the ability to remember information after a period of time, using the Hopkins Verbal Learning Test-Revised (HVLT-R).

Participants will undergo procedures that include the HA-WBRT treatment and memory testing with the HVLT-R. The HVLT-R is a test that measures verbal learning and memory by asking participants to recall words after a delay. This study aims to understand the effects of HA-WBRT on memory function four months after treatment.

• Who can participate: The eligibility criteria for this study are not specified in the provided information. Please refer to the study contact for detailed criteria, which may include age and health conditions.
• Study details: Participants will receive HA-WBRT and will be tested on their memory using the HVLT-R four months after treatment. HA-WBRT is a technique that avoids the hippocampus, a part of the brain involved in memory, during radiotherapy.
