Treatment Response Assessment Maps to Delineate Necrosis From Tumor After Stereotactic Radiation in Brain Metastases

Inclusion Criteria6

• Participants must have a histologically or cytologically confirmed solid malignancy of extracranial origin and radiographic evidence of at least one brain metastasis for which stereotactic radiation was utilized in the past. Patients with intracranial pathologic confirmation of a malignancy which originated extracranially but for which extracranial disease has not been biopsied are eligible.
• Participants must have an enlarging lesion in the brain at least 4 months after prior stereotactic radiation to the same site for which neurosurgical resection is planned as routine standard of care.
• Participants must be age 18 years or older.
• Participants must be willing to undergo study procedures.
• The effects of gadolinium / other MRI-based contrast agents on the developing human fetus are unknown. For this reason, women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she is participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately.
