COMPARATIVE RISK OF LEPTOMENINGEAL DISSEMINATION OF CANCER AFTER SURGERY OR STEREOTACTIC RADIOSURGERY FOR A SINGLE SUPRATENTORIAL SOLID TUMOR METASTASIS

Abstract

Piecemeal resection of a supratentorial brain metastasis carries a higher risk of LMD than en bloc resection or SRS. Further assessment of the role of the 2 surgical resection approaches and SRS in a controlled prospective setting with large numbers of patients is warranted.
