Application of Radiomics in Predicting Local Control in Postoperative Stereotactic Radiotherapy for Brain Metastasis Patients Academic Background Brain Metastases (BMs) are the most common malignant brain tumors, far surpassing primary brain tumors like gliomas in incidence. Recent medical guidelines recommend surgical treatment for patients with s...

This is a phase I clinical trial that explored the safety of preoperative single-fraction stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) with dose escalation for patients with brain metastases. The background of this study is that for brain metastases larger than 2cm in diameter, surgery alone or single-fraction SRS alone is difficult to achieve ideal local contr...
