ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT01252797

Purpose

This study will investigate the safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of changing the order of receiving radiation therapy for treating brain cancer. The investigators hope that changing the sequence of radiation therapy will lower the risk of cancer spreading throughout your spinal fluid, which covers your brain and spinal cord.

Study Population

patients who have brain metastases and will undergo both surgery and radiation therapy for treatment.

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

All subjects must have history of histologically confirmed malignancy. Brain biopsy is not required unless diagnosis is judged to be in doubt by the treating physician.
Newly diagnosed brain metastases (four or fewer by post-contrast MRI obtained within six weeks of study entry)
At least one brain metastasis (index tumor) must be within 2-6 cm in maximum diameter and deemed appropriate for surgical resection by the treating neurosurgeon.
Karnofsky performance status (KPS) of greater than or equal to 60 (Appendix B)
Age greater than 19
Life expectancy greater than 12 weeks
Subjects given written informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

Patients with small cell lung cancer and lymphoma are ineligible.
More than four metastases by baseline post-contrast MRI
Prior whole brain radiation therapy
Insufficient recovery from all active toxicities of prior therapies
Subjects who are deemed to be poor surgical risks by the treating neurosurgeon because of medical comorbidities
Pregnant or nursing women
Women of childbearing potential who are not using an effective method of contraception are excluded. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative urine or serum pregnancy test within 24 hours prior to administration of SRS.
