摘要

The management of brain metastases is challenging and should ideally be coordinated through a multidisciplinary approach. Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) has been the cornerstone of management for most patients with oligometastatic central nervous system involvement (one to four brain metastases), and several technological and therapeutic advances over the past decade have broadened the indications for SRS to include polymetastatic central nervous system involvement (>4 brain metastases), preoperative application and fractionated SRS, as well as combinatorial approaches with targeted therapy and immune-checkpoint inhibitors. For example, improved imaging and frameless head-immobilization technologies have facilitated fractionated SRS for large brain metastases or postsurgical cavities, or lesions in proximity to organs at risk. However, these opportunities come with new challenges and questions, including the implications of tumour histology as well as the role and sequencing of concurrent systemic treatments. In this Review, we discuss these advances and associated challenges in the context of ongoing clinical trials, with insights from a global group of experts, including recommendations for current clinical practice and future investigations. The updates provided herein are meaningful for all practitioners in clinical oncology.
