Local disease control remained high following fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy for resected brain metastases, with very few patients experiencing local recurrence.
One-year local control reached 98.6% following targeted cavity irradiation, while radiationinduced contrast enhancements appeared in 20.4% of patients during follow-up.
Analysis of 105 retrospectively reviewed patients supports fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy, though leptomeningeal disease highlights the need for randomized trials.
