3.2 Eligibility Criteria
A patient cannot be considered eligible for this study unless ALL of the following conditions are met. 3.2.1 Documentation of Disease Pathologically
(histologically or cytologically) proven diagnosis of one of the following solid tumor malignancies within 5 years prior to registration:
• non-small cell lung cancer
• melanoma
• breast cancer
• renal cell carcinoma
• gastrointestinal cancer
If the original histologic proof of malignancy is greater than 5 years, then more recent pathologic confirmation (e.g., from a systemic site or brain metastasis) or unequivocal imaging confirmation of extracranial metastatic disease (e.g. CT of the chest/abdomen/pelvis, PET/CT, etc.) is required.
3.2.2 Definition of Disease
• Patients must have at least 1 and up to 8 total intact brain metastases detected on a contrast-enhanced MRI (see Appendix I for imaging guidelines) performed ≤ 21 days prior to registration.
• At least 1 of the up to 8 lesions must be a study eligible lesion, defined as lesion with a maximum diameter as measured on any orthogonal plane (axial, sagittal, coronal) of ≥ 1.0 cm and ≤ 3.0 cm.
• All brain metastases must be located outside of the brainstem and ≥5 mm from the optic nerves or optic chiasm and ≤ 3.0 cm in maximum dimension.
Note: brainstem metastases per the MRI within 21 days of registration are an exclusion criterion; however, if the MRI used for treatment planning performed within 7 days of SRS/FSRS reveals a brainstem metastasis, the patient remains eligible if the patient is considered an appropriate radiosurgery candidate per the local investigator.
• Patients must have a diagnosis-specific graded prognostic assessment ≥1.5 (see Appendix II).
• No more than 2 lesions planned for resection if clinically indicated
• No known leptomeningeal disease (LMD)
Note: For the purposes of exclusion, LMD is a clinical diagnosis, defined as positive CSF cytology and/or unequivocal radiologic or clinical evidence of leptomeningeal involvement. Patients with leptomeningeal symptoms in the setting of leptomeningeal enhancement by imaging (MRI) would be considered to have LMD even in the absence of positive CSF cytology. In contrast, an asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic patient with mild or nonspecific leptomeningeal enhancement (MRI) would not be considered to have LMD. In that patient, CSF sampling is not required to formally exclude LMD, but can be performed at the investigator’s discretion based on level of clinical suspicion.
3.2.3 Age ≥ 18 years
3.2.4 Karnofsky performance status (KPS) ≥ 60
3.2.5 Not Pregnant and Not Nursing Negative urine or serum pregnancy test (in persons of childbearing potential) within 14 days prior to registration.

CURRENT SITES CREDENTIALED: Saginaw St. Mary's, and SJMO; St. John, Macomb, Genesys,Eligibility Criteria:
Patient Pre-Entry and Randomization
For the NRG-BR007 study, patients with a T1a tumor (≤0.5 cm in size) who do not have an Oncotype DX Recurrence Score must have a tissue sample sent to Genomic Health for a Recurrence Score to determine eligibility. For these patients, Genomic Health will cover the cost of the test.
Pre-Entry (ALL patients)
• Step 1: All patients will have to be registered in NRG-BR007 before being randomized.
• The authorized site staff must obtain a signed consent form from the potential patients before any study specific procedures are performed.
• The authorized site staff must determine patient eligibility. See Sections 3.2 and 3.3.
• During Pre-Entry in OPEN, patients will be assigned a unique patient identifier which will be used to identify the sample to be sent for central Oncotype DX Recurrence Score testing (for patients with a T1a tumor (≤0.5 cm in size) who have not had a Recurrence Score), the eCRFs in Medidata RAVE, and any other trial-related communications. See Section 10.0 and the NRG-BR007 Pathology and Correlative Science Instructions for ordering the Oncotype DX Recurrence Score test.
• Patients who already have a Recurrence Score result of ≤ 18, will be registered in Step 1 and go straight to randomization in Step 2.
• When a Recurrence Score result of ≤ 18 is received on central testing for patients with a T1a tumor (≤ 0.5 cm in size), the patient should be randomized. Patients who do not have a Recurrence Score result of ≤ 18 by central testing will not be randomized, will be treated per investigator discretion, and will not be followed on BR007.
Randomization (ALL patients)
• Step 2: If a patient meets all eligibility requirements, the authorized site staff will randomize the patient using OPEN.
• OPEN will randomly assign treatment (breast radiation therapy + endocrine therapy or no breast radiation + endocrine therapy)
**A patient cannot be considered eligible for this study unless ALL of the following conditions are met. -The patient or a legally authorized representative must provide study-specific informed consent prior to study entry and, for patients treated in the U.S., authorization permitting release of personal health information.
- The patient must be ≥ 50 years and < 70 years of age.

- Treatment plan that includes regional nodal irradiation.
- Any treatment with radiation therapy, chemotherapy, biotherapy, and/or endocrine therapy administered for the currently diagnosed breast cancer prior to study entry. (Short course endocrine therapy of < 6 weeks duration is acceptable post core biopsy pre surgery if the Oncotype DX Recurrence Score is assessed on the biopsy core and is < 18.)
- History of non-breast malignancies (except for in situ cancers treated only by local excision and basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas of the skin) within 5 years prior to study entry.
Current therapy with any endocrine therapy such as raloxifene (Evista®), tamoxifen, or other selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs), either for osteoporosis or breast cancer prevention. (Short course endocrine therapy of < 6 weeks duration is acceptable post core biopsy pre surgery if the Oncotype DX Recurrence Score is assessed on the biopsy core and is < 18.)
- Patients intending to continue on oral, transdermal, or subdermal estrogen replacement (including all estrogen only and estrogen-progesterone formulas) are not eligible. Patients that discontinue oral, transdermal, or subdermal estrogen replacement prior to registration are eligible.
- Prior breast or thoracic RT for any condition.
- Active collagen vascular disease, specifically dermatomyositis with a CPK level above normal or with an active skin rash, systemic lupus erythematosis, or scleroderma
-Pregnancy or lactation at the time of study entry or intention to become pregnant during treatment. (Note: Pregnancy testing according to institutional standards for women of childbearing potential must be performed within 2 weeks prior to study entry.)
- Any other disease, metabolic dysfunction, physical examination finding, or clinical laboratory finding giving reasonable suspicion of a disease or condition that contraindicates the use of study therapy or that may affect the interpretation of the results or render the patient at high risk from treatment complications.
- Psychiatric or addictive disorders or other conditions that, in the opinion of the investigator, would preclude the patient from meeting the study requirements or interfere with interpretation of study results.
- Use of any investigational product within 30 days prior to study entry.

Eligibility Criteria:
3.2.1 The patient or a legally authorized representative must provide study-specific informedconsent prior to pre-entry and, for patients treated in the U.S., authorization permitting release of personal health information.
3.2.2 Female patients must be ≥ 18 years of age.
3.2.3 Patients must be premenopausal (evidence of functioning ovaries) at the time of pre-entry. For study purposes, premenopausal is defined as:
• Age 50 years or under with spontaneous menses within 12 months; or
• Age > 50-60 years with spontaneous menses within 12 months plus follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and estradiol levels in the premenopausal range; or
• Patients with amenorrhea due to IUD or prior uterine ablation must have FSH and estradiol levels in the premenopausal range; or
• Patients with prior hysterectomy must have FSH and estradiol levels in the premenopausal range. 3.2.4 The patient must have an ECOG performance status of ≤ 2 (or Karnofsky ≥ 60%).
3.2.5 Patients may have ipsilateral or contralateral synchronous breast cancer if the highest stage tumor meets entry criteria, and the other sites of disease would not require chemotherapy or HER2-directed therapy.
3.2.6 Patients may have multicentric or multifocal breast cancer if the highest stage tumor meets entry criteria, and the other sites of disease would not require chemotherapy or HER2-directed therapy.
3.2.7 Patient may have undergone a total mastectomy, skin-sparing mastectomy, nipple-sparing mastectomy, or a lumpectomy.
3.2.8 For patients who undergo a lumpectomy, the margins of the resected specimen or re-excision must be histologically free of invasive tumor and DCIS with no ink on tumor as determined by the local pathologist. If pathologic examination demonstrates tumor at the line of resection, additional excisions may be performed to obtain clear margins. Positive posterior margin is allowed if surgeon deems no further resection possible. (Patients with margins positive for LCIS are eligible without additional resection.)
3.2.9 For patients who undergo mastectomy, the margins must be free of residual gross tumor. (Patients with microscopic positive margins are eligible if post-mastectomy RT of the chest wall will be administered.)
3.2.10 Patient must have undergone axillary staging with sentinel node biopsy (SNB), targeted axillary dissection (TAD), or axillary lymph node dissection (ALND).
3.2.11 The following staging criteria must be met postoperatively according to AJCC 8 th edition criteria:

• By pathologic evaluation, ipsilateral nodes must be pN0 or pN1 (pN1mi, pN1a, pN1b, pN1c).
• Patients with positive isolated tumor cells (ITCs) in axillary nodes will be considered N0 for eligibility purposes.
• Patients with micrometastatic nodal involvement (0.2-2 mm) will be considered N1
. 3.2.12 Oncotype DX RS requirements*:
• If node-negative:
- Oncotype DX RS must be RS 21-25, or
- Oncotype DX RS must be 16-20 and disease must be high clinical risk, defined as: low histologic grade with primary tumor size > 3 cm, intermediate histologic grade with primary tumor size > 2 cm, or high histologic grade with primary tumor size > 1 cm.
• If 1-3 nodes involved:
- Oncotype DX RS must be 26.
* Patients with a “Low Risk” or “MP1” MammaPrint result must have eligibility assessed with an Oncotype DX RS at pre-entry (see Section 3.1). Blocks or unstained slides must be sent to the Genomic Health centralized laboratory for testing at no cost to these patients. If MammaPrint High Risk or MP2, these patients are not eligible.
3.2.13 The tumor must be ER and/or PgR-positive by current ASCO/CAP guidelines based on local testing results. Patients with ≥ 1% ER and/or PgR staining by IHC will be classified as positive.
