Brief Summary: RATIONALE Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells Drugs such as lithium may protect normal cells from the side effects of radiation therapy Giving lithium together with radiation therapy may allow a higher dose of radiation therapy to be given so that more tumor cells are killed

PURPOSE This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of lithium when given together with whole-brain radiation therapy in treating patients with brain metastases from primary cancer outside the brain
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Determine the feasibility of concurrent lithium carbonate and whole-brain radiotherapy as measured by safety and compliance in patients with primary extracranial malignancy and brain metastases

OUTLINE This is an open-label dose-escalation study of lithium carbonate

Patients receive oral lithium carbonate twice daily on days 1-7 and 2-4 times daily on days 8-21 Patients undergo whole-brain radiotherapy once daily on days 8-12 and 15-19

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of lithium carbonate until the maximum tolerated dose MTD is determined The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity

Quality of life and mental status are assessed at baseline on days 1 8 and 15 at 1-month post-treatment and then periodically thereafter

After completion of study treatment patients are followed at 1 month and then periodically thereafter

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 24 patients will be accrued for this study
