Leptomeningeal disease and brain control after postoperative stereotactic radiosurgery with or without immunotherapy for resected brain metastases

Giuseppe Minniti et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the effects of postoperative stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) with immunotherapy compared to SRS alone in patients with resected brain metastases (BM). The combination therapy showed a lower rate of leptomeningeal disease (LMD) and distant brain parenchymal failure (DBF), leading to reduced neurological death and prolonged survival.
