Surgery and Radiation vs. Radiation Alone
for Brain Cancer
This phase III trial compares the usual treatment of surgery after stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) to receiving SRS before surgery in treating patients with cancer that has spread to the brain (brain metastases). Stereotactic radiosurgery is a type of radiation therapy that delivers a high dose of radiation to target tumors and minimizes effect on normal surrounding brain tissue. The combination of surgery and radiation may stop the tumor from growing for a few months or longer and may reduce symptoms of brain metastases. This study investigates whether treating with SRS before surgery may be better than SRS after surgery in reducing the possibility of the tumor coming back, reducing or preventing the cancer from spreading to other areas of the brain and reducing the risk of scarring on the brain from radiation.

Radiosurgery
for Brain Cancer
This phase II trial studies the neurological function in patients with multiple brain metastases undergoing stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) or stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). Stereotactic body radiation therapy uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors with high precision. This method can kill tumor cells with fewer doses over a shorter period and cause less damage to normal tissue. Assessment of neurocognitive function may help show that SRS preserves neurological function in patients with multiple brain metastases better than SBRT.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need insurance to participate in a trial?
Almost all clinical trials will cover the cost of the ‘trial drug’ — so no insurance is required for this. For trials where this trial drug is given alongside an already-approved medication, there may be a cost (which your insurance would normally cover).
What does Wenyin Shi specialize in?
Wenyin Shi focuses on Uterine Tumors and Brain Metastasis. In particular, much of their work with Uterine Tumors has involved Stage IV patients, or patients who are undergoing treatment.
Is Wenyin Shi currently recruiting for clinical trials?
Yes, Wenyin Shi is currently recruiting for 5 clinical trials in Philadelphia Pennsylvania. If you're interested in participating, you should apply.
Are there any treatments that Wenyin Shi has studied deeply?
Yes, Wenyin Shi has studied treatments such as Stereotactic Radiosurgery, Cognitive Assessment, Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy.
