Abstract

SRS can be used as primary treatment of brain metastases or salvage of recurrences after whole-brain radiation therapy to achieve good local control on the order of close to 80% at 1 year. The median survival of brain metastasis patients with breast cancer of 19 months appears favorable compared with the general brain metastasis population.
