Gamma Knife Radiosurgery for Metastatic Brain Tumors with Exophytic Hemorrhage.

CONCLUSION: Our experience shows that GKS performed in conjunction with our targeting technique safely and effectively treats hemorrhagic MBTs. The success of this technique may reflect the presence of scattered metastatic tumor cells in the hematoma that do not proliferate owing to the inadequate microenvironment of the hematoma. We suggest that GKS can be a useful treatment option for patients with hemorrhagic MBTs that are not amenable to surgery. PMID: 30196656 [PubMed]
