Treatment of brain metastasis: current status and future directions
Curr Opin Oncol.
2016 Nov.
Abstract
Purpose of review: The purpose of this review is to highlight the most recent advances in the management of brain metastases.
Recent findings: Role of local therapies (surgery and stereotactic radiosurgery), new approaches to minimize cognitive sequelae following whole-brain radiotherapy and advances in targeted therapies have been reviewed.
Summary: The implications for clinical trials and daily practice of the increasing use of stereotactic radiosurgery in multiple brain metastases and upfront targeted agents in asymptomatic brain metastases are discussed.
