Patterns of Recurrence After Postoperative Stereotactic Radiotherapy for Brain Metastases
This study examined patterns of recurrence after postoperative radiotherapy and its implications for radiation dose, radiation field size, and treatment sequence. Local control was high after total resection. Radiation field size appeared adequate given the low incidence of marginal recurrences. Patients with cerebellar metastases showed an increased risk of LMD, underscoring the need for preventive measures, particularly preoperative SRT.
