Comparison of single radiation before neuro-surgical removal of a brain metastasis with radiation in 5 sessions after removal of the brain metastasis.
Descrizione riassuntiva dello studio
If you decide to participate, you will be randomly assigned to one of the treatment groups to be compared (randomization). The radiotherapy will therefore be performed either once before the operation or in 5 days after the operation, depending on the assignment.
(BASEC)
Intervento studiato
Initial data from the USA show the same good effect of postoperative five-time precision radiation as that of preoperative single radio-surgical radiation. The single radiation also showed a reduction in the recurrence rates of the meninges (so-called meningeal recurrences), namely from 12%-16% to 0%-4%. 7 clinical studies are currently underway or in preparation in the USA. Therefore, we want to conduct the first study of this kind in Europe.
Postoperative radiation will be performed five times with 600 cGy (3000 cGy), three times a week over one and a half weeks. Radiation usually begins two to three weeks after the operation. The dose in the study of preoperative radiation is between 1400 cGy and 2000 cGy in one session. The dose depends on the tumor size. It has been shown that brain metastases with a diameter of up to 5 cm can be irradiated without side effects.
200 patients from hospitals in Switzerland, Germany, and Austria will be treated as part of the study. The study will last a total of 5 years. Half of the patients will be treated with the standard five-time postoperative radiation and the other half with the new preoperative radio-surgery. Only in this way can the two treatment options be compared and the advantages and disadvantages properly assessed.

Malattie studiate
All patients for whom surgery for a brain metastasis is recommended can participate in the study. Up to three metastases may also be present, which will be irradiated radio-surgically in 1 to 5 sessions. This may also take place after the operation. All study participants must be at least 18 years old. Patients who cannot undergo magnetic resonance imaging, are in a severely reduced clinical condition, and those who cannot complete the surveys may not participate in the study.
