Abstract

The article presents a retrospective study on the multidisciplinary management of colorectal brain metastases (BM) in 49 patients. The study reveals high prevalence of systemic disease which limits the proportion of patients who could undergo stereotactic radiosurgey (SRS). It concludes that sex, karnofsky performance status, tumor location and initial treatment modality do not affect survival.
