INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The research question is whether a single fraction of preoperative radiosurgery can reduce the incidence of leptomeningeal disease 12 months following resection of a brain metastasis (BM) as compared with 5 fractions of postoperative stereotactic radiotherapy.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria10
- Provision of signed and dated informed consent form
- Stated willingness to comply with all study procedures and availability for the duration of the study
- Age ≥18
- Karnofsky performance status ≥60
- Histological diagnosis of a malignant primary or metastatic tumour
- Ability to take steroids
- No contraindication to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
- MRI-diagnosis of a clearly demarcated contrast-enhancing brain metastasis up to 4.0 cm diameter indicated for neurosurgical resection (tumorboard decision). Up to 3 other brain metastases suitable for primary radiosurgery/ stereotactic radiotherapy
- Survival estimated by primary clinician \> 12 months
- Platelet count \> 100/ml, INR \< 1.3, Hb \> 7.5 g/dL
Exclusion Criteria16
- Radiosensitive histology: germ cell tumour, lymphoma, multiple myeloma
- \>10 mm midline shift, effacement of the 4th ventricle or other sign of raised intracranial pressure requiring urgent decompressive surgery
- More than 4 brain metastases or the diameter of the metastasis for resection \>4.0 cm.
- More than 1 metastasis requiring resection
- Leptomeningeal disease in the CSF or on MRI (unless localized and can be irradiated then resected with the metastasis)
- Prior radiation to the brain (SRS/SRT to lesion to be resected and /or WBRT)

- Inability to give informed consent
- Pregnancy or lactation
- Females of reproductive potential not willing to use effective contraception for at least 6 months after radiotherapy
- Males of reproductive potential not effective contraception for 3 months after radiotherapy
- Lack of likely compliance with protocol and follow-up
