Can stereotactic radiosurgery improve life quality in patients with large brain metastasis?

16 Nov 2021

Eight out of nine quality of life (QOL) metrics have improved or remained unchanged following initial stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) in patients treated with 3-fraction SRS for large brain metastasis cavities, a phase I/II study has shown. Intracranial tumour progression and salvage SRS show no impact on QOL.
