Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects on neurocognitive function of whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT) with/without TMZ concurrent chemotherapy or avoidance of hippocampus for patients of brain metastases, as well as the feasibility and risk of avoidance of hippocampus during whole-brain radiotherapy.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Change of neurocognitive function between baseline and 4 months after radiotherapy
Neurocognitive function is evaluated by Minimum Mental State Examination (MMSE)
baseline; four months after radiotherapy
Secondary Outcomes (2)
Effect on response rate
baseline; One, two, four, six, and twelve months after radiotherapy
The tolerance of radiotherapy with TMZ concurrent chemotherapy
baseline; once a week through during radiotherapy, up to 3 weeks

Interventions
TMZ 75mg/m2/d from the 1st day to the last day of radiotherapy
Whole brain radiotherapy of 30Gy/10f by IMRT (Intensity Modulation Radiated Therapy), with or without boost. The maximum dose of hippocampus should be no more than 18Gy.
Whole brain radiotherapy of 30Gy/10f by IMRT, with or without boost. The dose of hippocampus is not considered.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Primary lesions diagnosed by pathology or cytology
- Brain metastases confirmed by brain MRI or CT(\>3 brain metastases)
- Brain metastases beyond 5mm of hippocampus
- Male or female patients with age between 18 and 75 years old
- Karnofsky Performance Scores ≥ 60
- Expected survival ≥ 6 months
- No previous brain surgery or brain radiotherapy
- Without dysfunction of heart, lung, liver, kidney and hematopoiesis
- The primary carcinoma is under control
You may not qualify if:
- MMSE score \<27
- Dysfunction of heart, lung, liver, kidney or hematopoiesis
- Severe neurological, mental or endocrine diseases
- History of alcohol or drug abuse within 3 months
- Visual or hearing dysfunction, low education level, or other reasons leading to not capable of taking the MMSE test
- Currently under treatment may effect patients' neurocognitive functions
- Patients participated in clinical trials of other drugs within last 3 months
- Other unsuitable reason
