About

This study aims to explore the safety and efficacy of eliminating the planning target volume (PTV) margins based on MRI-guided adaptive stereotactic radiotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with brain metastasis.

Full description

This study aims to explore the safety and efficacy of eliminating the planning target volume (PTV) margins based on MRI-guided adaptive stereotactic radiotherapy for NSCLC patients with brain metastasis. In this study, patients will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to the study group or the control group. Patients in the study group will receive MRI-guided adaptive stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) (without PTV expansion margin), while patients in the control group will receive CT-guided conventional standard SRT (with PTV expansion margin). After the completion of treatment, patients will be followed up regularly to assess safety and efficacy.

168 participants in 2 patient groups

The study group

Experimental group

Description:

Patients in the study group will receive MRI-guided adaptive stereotactic radiotherapy (without PTV expansion margin). The total dose will be 30Gy/5 fractions, administered once daily. The MRI-linac is used for the delivery of radiotherapy.

Treatment:

Radiation: MRI-guided adaptive SRT

The control group

Active Comparator group

Description:

Patients in the study group will receive conventional standard stereotactic radiotherapy (with PTV expansion margin). The total dose will be 30Gy/5 fractions, administered once daily. The conventional linac is used for the delivery of radiotherapy.

Treatment:

Radiation: Conventional SRT
