Stereotactic radiosurgery plus whole-brain radiotherapy for treatment of multiple metastases from non-small cell lung cancer.

Abstract

WBRT plus SRS is a safe, minimally invasive and well-tolerated treatment for patients with up to three brain metastases from NSCLC. The treatment is associated with longer survival and better disease control in comparison with WBRT alone. Survival benefits need to be confirmed by large randomized studies.
