A guideline for brain metastases has been created
The American Society for Radiation Oncology has created a guideline on the radiotherapeutic and surgical management for newly diagnosed brain metastases. It has been published in Practical Radiation Oncology (PRO), ASTRO's official clinical practice journal.
"This guideline was developed by an international multidisciplinary task force charged with systematically reviewing and synthesizing level one and other high-quality data into a distilled work product," Eric L. Chang, MD, a radiation oncologist at the University of Southern California Keck School of Medicine, said. "It should help clinicians make solid evidence-based decisions, while still allowing best clinical judgment to fill in knowledge gaps not readily addressed by the guideline."
This guideline gives the answers to different questions on the radiotherapeutic and surgical management of newly diagnosed brain metastases. The basis of the study is taking into account the individual medical history of the patient.
