•1\. 1\-3 intracranial metastases on MRI from melanoma, locally treated with either surgical excision and/or stereotactic irradiation. 2\. Life expectancy of at least 6 months 3\. Aged 18 years or older 4\. WBRT must be within 8 weeks of completion of localised treatment and within 4 weeks of randomisation 5\. Able to have an MRI brain scan with contrast. ‘estimated Glomerular Filtrate Rate’ (eGFR) is adequate at the discretion of the radiologist and capable of having gadolinium\-containing contrast medium for MRI as per practice guidelines 6\. Complete localised treatment of all these metastases no more than 6 weeks prior to randomisation 7\. An Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 2 or less at randomisation 8\.
