Adequate renal function: Serum creatinine =3mg/dL (265 µmol/L) and creatinine clearance must be = 30 ml/min;Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) within institutional upper limit of normal (e.g. < 20 mg/dL) 11. Adequate liver function: Total bilirubin = 2.5 mg/dL (43 umol/L) 12. Negative serum pregnancy test (in women of childbearing potential) = 14 days prior to radiotherapy, women of childbearing potential and men who are sexually active must practice adequate contraception while on study 13. Adequate hematological function: white blood cells = 4×109/L, Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) =1.5 x 10^9/L, Hemoglobin =10 g/dL, and Platelet count =100 x 10^9/L.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Prior radiotherapy to the brain 2. Radiographic evidence of hydrocephalus or other architectural distortion of the ventricular system, including placement of external ventricular drain or ventriculoperitoneal shunt 3. Severe, active co-morbidity defined as follows: • Unstable angina and/or congestive heart failure requiring hospitalization within the last 6 months • Transmural myocardial infarction within the last 6 months • Uncontrolled, clinically significant cardiac arrhythmias • Acute bacterial or fungal infection requiring intravenous antibiotics at the time of registration • Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbation or other acute respiratory illness precluding study therapy at the time of registration • Severe hepatic disease defined as a diagnosis of Child-Pugh class B or C hepatic disease • Renal tubular acidosis or metabolic acidosis • Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive with cluster of differentiation (CD)4 count = 200 cells/microliter within 30 days prior to registration. Note also that HIV testing is not required for eligibility for this protocol 4. Pregnant or lactating women, or women of childbearing potential and men who are sexually active and not willing/able to use medically acceptable forms of contraception 5. Intractable seizures while on adequate anticonvulsant therapy-more than 1 seizure per month for the past 2 months 6. Patients with definitive leptomeningeal metastases 7. Contraindication to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) such as implanted metal devices or foreign bodies or severe claustrophobia 8. Contraindication to gadolinium contrast administration during MRI, such as allergy or insufficient renal function 9. History of malignancies other than NSCLC within 5 years 10.
