Proactive Brain Screening Using Contrast-Enhanced Brain CT Scans in HER2+ Metastatic Breast Cancer
Brain screening with CT scans was associated with fewer symptomatic BMs and better performance status at BM diagnosis, supporting proactive imaging in HER2+ mBC. Prospective studies are warranted to define optimal timing and imaging modalities.
