Stereotactic Cavity Irradiation or Whole-Brain Radiotherapy Following Brain Metastases Resection —Outcome, Prognostic Factors, and Recurrence Patterns

Conclusion: This is the first propensity score-adjusted direct comparison of SRS/FSRT and WBRT following the resection of BM. Patients receiving SRS/FSRT showed longer OS and LC compared to WBRT. Future analyses will address the optimal choice of safety margin, dose and fractionation for postoperative stereotactic RT of the resection cavity.
