Abstract
BACKGROUND Brain metastasis has been reported in 25-40 % of cancers and is associated with fairly dismal outcome with a mean survival period of 6-9 months as reported in various case series. In management of brain metastasis, there is extensive published experience of Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS)/ Fractionated Stereotactic Radiosurgery (FSR) with control rates equal to or higher than those for surgery for single/oligo metastasis. The term FSR refers to stereotactically guided delivery of highly conformal radiation to a defined target volume in multiple fractions (4-5), typically using non-invasive positioning.
