    Brain metastases occur in approximately 20% of cancer patients, with survival typically measured in months due to advanced systemic disease.

  • 2

    Intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) delivers adjuvant treatment immediately after tumor resection, potentially improving local control rates.

  • 3

    The INTRAMET trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of kilovoltage IORT in patients with newly diagnosed brain metastases.

  • 4

    The study aimed to enroll 50 patients, targeting local control rates comparable to those of adjuvant stereotactic radiosurgery.

  • 5

    Primary endpoint was local control rate, defined as absence of in-cavity or marginal lesions suggestive of recurrence on MRI.
