Brain metastases treated with radiosurgery or hypofractionated stereotactic radiotherapy: outcomes and predictors of survival.

CONCLUSIONS: SRS and HSFRT are equally effective and safe for the treatment of BM, with no exceptions among different primary tumors. Disease control, surgery, age, and prognostic scales correlated with OS. However, the lack of survival benefit regarding WBRT might become logical evidence for its omission in a subset of patients.
