Inclusion Criteria
  • Age ≥ 18 years, Karnofsky Performance Index ≥ 70.
  • Newly diagnosed cerebral or cerebellar lesion (contrast enhancing on a T1- weighted MRI scan) amenable to total resection with no dural attachment.
  • Frozen section confirming a metastasis of an extracranial (i.e. non-CNS) tumor.
  • Adequate distance to optic nerve(s), chiasm and brainstem (organs at risk for radiotherapy).
  • Adequate birth control.
  • Informed consent.
Exclusion Criteria
  • Leptomeningeal spread and dural attachment (assessed pre- and intraoperative).
  • Frozen section reveals primary CNS tumor, lymphoma, SCLC or germinoma.
  • Psychiatric or social condition potentially interfering with compliance.
  • Contraindication against anesthesia, surgery, MRI and/or contrast agents.
  • Pregnant or breast-feeding women.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Median local progression free survival (PFS)12 months

Time span (in months) between surgery and recurrence within a 0,5 cm margin around the resection cavity, evaluated through Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) criteria for brain metastasis obtained from serial Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Median regional PFS (rPFS)12 months

The time (in months) from surgery to any progression outside of the 0,5 cm margin around the resection cavity, evaluated through Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) criteria for brain metastasis obtained from serial Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans.

Change in neurocognitive performance (compared to baseline): Repetition6, and 12 months

Assessed by number repetition test (forward and backward)

Radiation-related (acute / early delayed / late) neurotoxicity12 months

Assessed by regular neurological examinations combined by serial MRI scans

Median time to the initiation of systemic therapies12 months

Time (in days) from surgery to the day of initiation of any systemic anti-tumor therapy (e.g., chemotherapy)

Change in neurocognitive performance (compared to baseline): Minimental6, and 12 months

Assessed by minimal mental scale examination

Global PFS (gPFS)12 months

Time (in months) from surgery to any intra- and extracranial tumor progression evaluated through Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) criteria for brain metastasis obtained from serial Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans.

Change in neurocognitive performance (compared to baseline): Semantic6, and 12 months

Assessed by semantic word association

Median overall survival (OS)12 months

Time (in months) from surgery of brain metastases to death by any cause

Quality of life (QoL)6, and 12 months

Assessed by European Organization for Research and Treatment (EORTC)- Quality of Life Questionnaires (QLQ C30/BN20)

Change in neurocognitive performance (compared to baseline): Trail making6, and 12 months

Assessed by trail making test

Change in neurocognitive performance (compared to baseline): Oral6, and 12 months

Assessed by controlled oral word association test
