Neoadjuvant Stereotactic Radiotherapy (NaSRT)Postoperative Stereotactic Radiotherapy (SRT)

Neoadjuvant Stereotactic Radiotherapy (NaSRT): Neoadjuvant Stereotactic Radiotherapy (NaSRT) gives radiotherapy before surgery from many different angles around the body. The beams meet at the tumor. This means the tumor receives a high dose of radiation and the tissues around it receive a much lower dose. This lowers the risk of side effects.

Postoperative Stereotactic Radiotherapy (SRT): Postoperative Stereotactic Radiotherapy (SRT) gives radiotherapy after surgery from many different angles around the body. The beams meet at the tumor. This means the tumor receives a high dose of radiation and the tissues around it receive a much lower dose. This lowers the risk of side effects.

Study summary

This multicentre proof-of-concept study, involving 4 centers, aims to establish the value of fractionated neoadjuvant stereotactic radiotherapy (NaSRT) as a new treatment paradigm for brain metastases (BM) in the frame of the Czech neurooncology network. Most relevant studies published to date used single-fraction radiotherapy and dealt with the inherent bias related to their retrospective nature. The researchers aim to increase the level of evidence for this treatment paradigm together with other similar ongoing studies.
