Development of brain metastases in patients managed with non-curative thoracic radiotherapy for stage II/III non-small cell lung cancer
The risk of brain metastases development was comparable to that reported in studies of curative chemoradiation. All events occurred within 15 months of follow-up, suggesting that long-term surveillance imaging may not be warranted. Patients younger than 60 years had a very high risk of brain metastases development.
