Study Summary

RATIONALE: Stereotactic radiosurgery may be able to send x-rays directly to the tumor and cause less damage to normal tissue. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x rays to kill tumor cells. It is not yet known whether stereotactic radiosurgery is more effective than whole-brain radiation therapy in treating patients with brain metastases that have been removed by surgery. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial studies how well stereotactic radiosurgery works compared to whole-brain radiation therapy in treating patients with brain metastases that have been removed by surgery.

Primary Outcome

To determine in patients with one to four brain metastases whether there is less nuerocognitive progression post-randomization in patients who receive SRS to the surgical bed compared to patients who receive WBRT. Neurocognitive progression is defined as a drop of at least one stanard deviation from baseline in one of the six neurocognitive tests at post-randomization evaluation.

Interventions

  • RADIATION stereotactic radiosurgery
  • RADIATION whole-brain radiation therapy
