Brain metastasis is common with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Patients with some early-stage cancers don't benefit from routine brain imaging. Currently clinical stage alone is used to justify additional brain imaging. Other clinical and demographic characteristics may be associated with isolated brain metastasis (IBM). We aimed to define the most salient clinical features associated with synchronous IBM, hypothesizing that clinical and demographic factors could be used to determine the risk of brain metastasis.
