The study design concerns all patients diagnosed witha singular brain metastasis who underwent stereotactic radiosurgery/radiotherapy between January 2010 and December 2022
The study will include patients of both sexes diagnosed with single brain metastases who underwent radiosurgical/stereotactic treatment. Attention will be paid to data related to local control, potential recurrence, and/or radionecrosis. Once a sufficient number of treated patients is reached, the feasibility of a radiomic feature analysis will be assessed in order to identify potential correlations and/or predictive values for treatment response or radionecrosis. If the sample size is adequate, participating centers will be asked to share pre- and post-RT MRI (brain MRI with contrast using thin slices) and treatment volumes for radiomic evaluation.

Toxicity profile
"The toxicity profile of the treatment will be assessed according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) of the National Cancer Institute."
Time frame: due to the retrospective nature of the study, we did not have specific time points.We will evaluate the possible onset of toxicity events from the last day of treatment up to 18 months from the treatment
Local control
It will be Calculated 'per lesion,' and it is defined as the time interval between irradiation and the onset of disease recurrence at the site of the treated area
Time frame: We will evaluate Lc at one, two, and five years from the treatment
