NCOG-06. N107C/CEC.3 (ALLIANCE FOR CLINICAL TRIALS IN ONCOLOGY/CANADIAN CANCER TRIALS GROUP): PHASE III TRIAL OF POST-OPERATIVE RADIOSURGERY COMPARED WITH WHOLE BRAIN RADIOTHERAPY FOR RESECTED METASTATIC BRAIN DISEASE: COGNITIVE FUNCTION OF LONG-TERM SURVIVORS

It has been our recent finding that, when substituted for whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) as an adjuvant to resection of a brain metastasis, radiosurgery (SRS) results in improved cognitive outcomes and equivalent overall survival — this despite inferior long-term local control. A subgroup of patients will be long-term survivors following local treatment of their brain metastases. Here we report an unplanned analysis of the outcomes of patients …
