Stereotactic radiosurgery for brain metastases from malignant melanoma and the impact of hemorrhagic metastases

ConclusionsOur findings demonstrate that hemorrhagic intracranial melanoma metastases are associated with inferior local tumor control when treated with SRS, as compared to solid tumors. These results highlight the importance of early radiosurgery among patients with melanoma brain metastases before hemorrhage occurs.
