    About This Study

    The purpose of this study is to better understand how well the NeuroBlate System works for treating brain metastases. The system will be used along with laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT). The NeuroBlate System uses laser light energy to heat and destroy the tumor. The LITT procedure includes a biopsy of brain tissue. The procedures are considered to be minimally invasive.

    Need volunteers diagnosed with cancer that has newly spread to the brain. Completed radiosurgery at least three months ago. There will be seven follow-up visits over a period of 2 years. Study team will discuss study details with you.
