Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The prognosis of NSCLC patients with asymptomatic brain metastasis, who are not treated with SRS or WBRT has not been fully investigated yet. This randomized phase III trial is conducted to determine the exact role of SRS in NSCLC patients with asymptomatic oligo brain metastases whether early treatment with SRS would improve survival even in patients with asymptomatic brain metastasis.
