Brief Summary

Randomized double arm phase III study to evaluate feasibility and safety of Gamma Knife radiosurgery and Linac Based (Edge) radiosurgery in brain metastatic patients

Detailed Description

This is a prospective double arm phase III study to evaluate cerebral side effects following radiosurgery delivered by Gamma Knife Perfexion and Linac Based EDGE. In particular our primary objective is to evaluate rate of symptomatic radionecrosis from the two different modalities of radiosurgery.
