Surgically Targeted Radiation Therapy (STaRT) for Brain Metastases: Initial Experience from a Prospective Multi-Institutional Registry.

Early results from this prospective multi-center trial demonstrate the feasibility and safety of STaRT. The lack of radiation-related AE, even with short follow-up, is intriguing given the relatively large lesion size and proportion of patients treated for recurrent, previously irradiated disease. Additional follow-up will provide data on tumor control outcomes and radiation necrosis rates using this novel technique.
