Study of Fractionated Stereotactic Radiosurgery to Treat Large Brain Metastases

Not Recruiting

Trial ID: NCT00928226

Purpose

The maximum tolerated dose of 3-session (ie, treatment) stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) to treat brain metastases greater than 4.2 cm³ in size will be determined. This study investigates if increasing radiation dose improves outcome for patients without greater toxicity (side effects).
