Suggest Treatment For Melanoma Of The Brain

My brother had brain surgery last week. He was recently diagnosed with stage 4 melonoma brain cancer. He had two lesions sucessfully removed. He just had a follow up visit with the surgeon who performed the operation. He said everything looked fine. However he said there was a 'bright spot' of about 2mm. What do you know about these 'bright spots'?
