What this study is about

Researchers are testing whether LITT or surgery followed by additional radiation therapy improves the time until the cancer returns in the brain compared to close monitoring after surgery/LITT. The trial also aims to determine if this approach affects survival rates, quality of life, and other outcomes for patients with recurrent brain metastases who have already received radiation treatment.
