Best Supportive Care Versus Whole-Brain Irradiation, Chemotherapy Alone, or WBRT Plus Chemotherapy in Patients With Brain Metastases From Small-Cell Lung Cancer: A Case-Controlled Analysis

ConclusionWBRT plus chemotherapy improved OS in patients with BM from SCLC as compared to BSC. Chemotherapy alone and WBRT alone did not show survival benefits. This retrospective study suggests that SCLC patients with BM who receive WBRT combined with chemotherapy have a better outcome than those receiving BSC alone.
