NCT03226483

Brief Summary

INTRAMET examines prospectively the effectiveness of an intraoperative radiotherapy immediate after the surgical resection of brain metastases. Patients won't receive further radiation therapy of the intraoperatively treated lesion.

Study Arms (1)

Intraoperative radiotherapy

EXPERIMENTAL

After neurosurgical resection and proven metastasis (frozen section) a local intraoperative radiotherapy with soft energy x-rays is applied to the resection cavity. To perform this an applicator is inserted into the situs in the tightest fit rule. The highest possible dose between 30-20 Gy is chosen depending on nearby risk structures (Optic nerve, brainstem) is prescribed. After radiotherapy the applicator is removed and the surgery will be finished in standard way.

Radiation: Intraoperative Radiotherapy

Interventions

Intraoperative Radiotherapy is performed with a mobile radiation device emitting soft energy x-rays in a spherical way. Different size applicators are available to cover the resection cavity after the tightest fit rule.
