Radiosurgery With or Without Whole-Brain Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Brain Metastases
Study Information
Alliance Study ID: ACOSOG-Z0300
NCT Study ID (ClinicalTrials.gov): NCT00030628
Alliance Committee: Neuro-Oncology
Disease or Cancer Type: Brain / Central Nervous System Cancer
Alliance Study Chair: Anthony Asher, MD, FACS
Status: COMPLETED
Study Description
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Radiosurgery may be able to deliver x-rays directly to the tumor and cause less damage to normal tissue. It is not yet known if radiosurgery is more effective with or without whole-brain radiation therapy in treating brain metastases.
PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of radiosurgery with or without whole-brain radiation therapy in treating patients who have brain metastases.
