To learn if consolidative stereotactic radiosurgery (cSRS) can help to control central nervous system (CNS) disease in patients who have brain metastases and have a partial response or stable brain metastases after systemic therapy.
To learn if using SRS to treat all brain metastases that do not respond to systemic therapy versus treating only metastases that are getting worse can help to control CNS disease in patients whose disease gets worse after systemic therapy.
Age ≥ 18 years.
Evaluation by a brain metastasis multidisciplinary team (BM-MDT) consisting of a medical oncologist (can be the patient's primary medical oncologist), a radiation oncologist who regularly performs SRS, and a neurosurgeon. This evaluation can take place in clinic or during a multidisciplinary conference.
Life expectancy > 6 months as estimated by BM-MDT.
BM-MDT agreement that the planned systemic therapy regimen may provide intracranial benefit (SD, PR, or CR in the CNS).
History of known leptomeningeal involvement (radiographic or cytological).
Small cell lung cancer, lymphoma, or leukemia histology.
Non-small cell lung cancer histology with targetable oncogenic driver mutation with planned initiation of highly CNS active targeted therapy (eg osimertinib, brigatinib, alectinib, or lorlatinib).
Subjects previously treated with WBRT.
