Who might be able to join this trial:
- You are older than 18 years of age
- You are generally well enough to carry out normal daily activities with little or no limitation (confirm with trial site)
- You have fewer than 4 brain metastases (cancer that has spread to the brain from another part of the body, such as melanoma or another solid tumour), confirmed by a tissue sample; this includes patients who have had surgery to remove a brain metastasis and have 1 to 3 remaining
- Your brain tumour(s) measure between 5 and 30 mm across
- A specialist medical team has agreed that you are suitable for a precise, targeted form of radiotherapy called stereotactic radiotherapy
- At least one of your brain lesions shows signs of bleeding inside the tumour, visible on specific brain scans (CT or MRI)
- There is no sign that the cancer has spread to the lining of the brain or spinal cord
- None of your brain metastases are located in the brainstem
- Your overall health score related to your type of cancer meets a minimum level set by the trial (confirm with trial site, or check at brainmetgpa.com)
- You are not currently receiving cancer treatments such as chemotherapy, hormone therapy, or certain targeted therapies during radiotherapy (these must be paused at least 7 days before and 7 days after treatment; immunotherapy does not need to be paused)
- Your doctor estimates you are likely to live for more than 6 months
- You are able to cooperate with wearing a custom-fitted mask during treatment
- You are able to understand and follow the requirements of the study
- You are covered by a social security or health insurance scheme

Who may not be able to join:
- You have small cell lung cancer, germ cell tumours, lymphoma, leukaemia, or multiple myeloma
- You have a condition affecting the brain or nervous system that causes it to gradually deteriorate (such as Parkinson's or Alzheimer's disease)
- You have symptoms unrelated to your cancer that require long-term use of steroid medication
- You cannot have an MRI scan or receive the contrast dye (gadolinium) used during MRI
- You have a bleeding or clotting disorder that is not related to bleeding within the brain tumour(s)
- You have a condition that makes your body unusually sensitive to radiation (for example, Neurofibromatosis)
- Your platelet count (cells that help blood clot) is below 100,000 per mm³
- You are taking blood-thinning or anti-clotting medication during radiotherapy, unless it can safely be stopped for at least 5 days before treatment and restarted 2 weeks after treatment ends
- You have bleeding metastases located in the brainstem
- Your treatment plan would deliver a significant dose of radiation to other metastases at the same time (confirm with trial site)
- You have previously had stereotactic radiotherapy to the brain
- You have previously had whole-brain radiotherapy
- There are geographical, social, or psychological factors that might make it difficult for you to fully participate in the study
- You are already taking part in another clinical trial that could interfere with this one
- You are under legal guardianship or have had your liberty restricted
