Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Radiation Toxicity; Cognitive/Functional Effects; Metastatic Cancer

• Registration Number: NCT00007007
• Lead Sponsor: Radiation Therapy Oncology Group

Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Assessment of patients undergoing radiation therapy may help to determine the effects of the treatment and may help improve cancer treatment.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying the memory skills in patients receiving radiation therapy for brain metastases.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the feasibility of performing a test battery consisting of five neurocognitive measures and a quality of life instrument following radiotherapy in patients with brain metastases.

OUTLINE: Patients undergo radiotherapy 5 days a week for 3 weeks. Quality of life and neurocognitive function is assessed before study, at completion of radiotherapy, and at 1 month after completion of radiotherapy. Patients are followed at 1 month.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 50 patients will be accrued for this study over 5 months.
