Stereotactic Radiosurgery for Brain Metastases

The utilization of stereotactic radiosurgery in patients with brain metastases has grown significantly in the past few decades, owing to its demonstrated improvements in local tumor control and reduction in neurocognitive deficits when compared to whole brain radiation therapy. This benefit has been shown in the primary and postoperative setting. Developments in systemic therapies and radiosurgical techniques continue to further advance the efficacy and utilization of this technique.
