Disqualifiers

Absence of expression of STAT3 on the reactive astrocytes of brain metastases

Incomplete surgical resection and/or diameters > 3 centimeters of brain metastasis before surgery

Brain metastases that previously received any type of radiation therapy

Progressive systemic disease requiring a change of the antineoplastic therapy
