Brain Metastases Surgical Management: Diagnostic, Therapeutic and Strategic Considerations

2020
The incidence of brain metastases (BM) is to date increasing, mostly due to the actual improvement of cancer patients’ overall survival with the advent of targeted therapies. BM management has dramatically evolved over the last 15 years and uses varying strategies including more or less aggressive local treatments, sometimes combined with systemic therapies that have led to an improvement of patient survival and quality of life. Surgical BM resection has been shown to be an effective treatment that improves overall survival compared to brain radiotherapy alone in patients with solitary brain metastases.
