Sponsor

Universitaire Ziekenhuizen KU Leuven

Enrollment

180 participants

Start Date

Oct 10, 2020

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

To observe the quality of life (QOL) and to report on toxicity and outcome parameters after the (repeated) use of local ablative therapy (LAT) i.e. stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) for patients with multiple (4-10) brain metastases


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study tests stereotactic radiosurgery (SRT) — a precise, targeted form of radiation delivered in a few sessions without surgery — for people who have multiple brain metastases (4 to 10 separate tumor spots in the brain) from any solid cancer. Current standard care for multiple brain tumors often involves whole-brain radiation, which can cause memory and cognitive side effects. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 or older - You have between 4 and 10 brain metastases confirmed on a recent MRI (within the past 4 weeks) - Each individual tumor is no larger than 3 cm, and the total tumor volume is 30 cm³ or less - Your overall health is reasonably good (Karnofsky score 70 or above) - Your cancer comes from a solid tumor (not lymphoma, multiple myeloma, germ cell tumor, or small cell lung cancer) - Your expected survival is more than 3 months **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have had prior radiation or surgery on the same brain lesions being treated - You have cancer in the fluid surrounding the brain or spinal cord (leptomeningeal disease) - You have a large brainstem tumor (more than 20 cm³) - You are pregnant - You are currently receiving systemic cancer treatment - You have more than 10 brain tumors on the treatment MRI scan Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
