Brief Summary:
Stereotactic radiosurgery or hypofractionated radiotherapy of the resection cavity after metastasectomy in cancer patients with brain metastases

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Brain Metastases, Adult Cancer Brain Radiation: IGRT Radiation: SRS Not Applicable

Detailed Description:
Patients with limited number of brain metastases from solid tumors are at high risk of local recurrence after surgical removal of the tumor mass. The standard Whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT) demonstrated to reduce the risk of recurrence without improving survival. At the same time WBRT have substantial acute and late toxicity. Preliminary experiences with Stereotactic radiosurgery or hypofractionated radiotherapy of the resection cavity indicate promising local control and good tolerance. This attitude was only partially explored in prospective trials. In this research patients with limited number of brain metastases and controlled systemic disease will be treated, with such a stereotactic irradiation, at the same time with evaluation of the local control (Primary endpoint) by repeated MRI and of quality of life, neurologic functionning (with a battery of thsts, e.g. MMSE, QLQ-C30, EORTC BN-20) as well as overall survival as secondary endpoints.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Relapse rate [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
    Evaluate the recurrence probability in the surgical cavity after radiotherapy


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Overall survival [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
    The proportion of surviving patients at 1 year

  2. Time to systemic progression [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
    The proportion of patients with progression of disease in any location other than the brain, according to CTCAE Criteria

  3. Time to neurological progression [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
    Time to neurological deterioration (objective neurological examination and MMSE)

  4. Quality of life assessment [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
    Evaluation of the quality of life through questionnaire
