Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS)
SRS or hypofractionated stereotactic radiation delivered via the Leksell Gammknife Perfexion/Icon radiosurgery system. Hypofractionated stereotactic radiotherapy 25-32.5 Gy in 5 fractions or 24-27 Gy in 3 fractions at the discretion of the radiation oncologist Maximum diameter of metastasis (doses in single fraction): ≤ 2 cm: 15-20 Gy \> 2 cm and ≤ 3 cm: 15-18 Gy \> 3 cm and ≤ 4 cm: 15 Gy Tumour location (doses in single fraction): Brainstem: 15 Gy Hypofractionated stereotactic radiotherapy 25-32.5 Gy in 5 fractions may be used for lesions \> 2 cm at the discretion of the radiation oncologist Note: SRS dosing reduced by 20% (for all prescriptions \> 15 Gy) when patient is randomized to SRS + WBRT arm
Whole brain radiation (WBRT)
WBRT 20 Gy in 5 fractions or 30 Gy in 10 fractions at the discretion of the radiation oncologist
