Radiation Therapy With or Without Radiosurgery in Treating Patients With Brain Metastases
Completed · Phase 3
Conditions studied: Metastatic Cancer
In brief
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. It is not yet known whether giving radiation therapy during surgery is more effective than standard radiation therapy in treating brain metastases. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of radiation therapy with or without radiosurgery in treating patients with brain metastases that cannot be removed during surgery.
