Study Summary

This phase II trial investigates how stereotactic radiosurgery affects brain functions while treating patients with small cell lung cancer that has spread to the brain (brain metastasis). Standard of care treatment consists of whole brain radiation therapy, which targets the entire brain, and may result in side effects affecting the nervous system. Stereotactic radiosurgery only targets areas of the brain that are suspected to be affected by the disease. The purpose of this trial is to learn if and how patients' brain functions are affected by the use of stereotactic radiosurgery rather than whole brain radiation therapy in managing brain metastasis caused by small cell lung cancer. Stereotactic radiosurgery may help patients avoid nervous system side effects caused by whole brain radiation therapy.

Primary Outcome

Will be defined as a decline of \>= 1 standard deviation from baseline on at least 1 of the 5 cognitive tests. Will be estimated along with the 95% confidence interval. For patients with or without prior radiation therapy to the central nervous system, the cognitive decline rate will also be estimated respectively. Fisher exact test will be used to compare the neurocognitive decline rate at 3 month post-SRS in subgroups (e.g. prior therapy difference).
