About this trial
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of silibinin in preventing recurrence in the brain after complete resection of a brain metastasis (BM) from non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or breast cancer (BC).

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
