Abstract
- Brain metastases are the most common intracranial tumor in adults, with increasing incidence owing to prolonged survival times. Roughly half of patients diagnosed with new brain metastases have greater than 1 brain metastasis at the time of diagnosis, raising the question of how to optimize patient care with multiple brain metastases. The authors review studies relevant to the care of patients with brain metastasis, with emphasis on those relevant to the care of patients with multiple brain metastases. They discuss evolving strategies involving multiple modalities and the benefit of surgical management in patients with a large symptomatic brain metastasis.
