SYMPOSIUM Controversies in the management of brain metastases 11:00 - 12:15 | Brown 3

This session will deal with controversies in the management of brain metastases. Indications of whole brain radiotherapy will be debated in the context of new techniques of hippocampus sparing with the recent data of prospective trials. The emerging role of upfront systemic therapy as an alternative treatment to local treatment will be discussed mainly for NSCLC, as for breast cancer and melanoma. Several issues will be developed concerning radiosurgery (SRS): its role for multiple brain metastases, its integration with surgery (upfront SRS vs surgery? preoperative versus postoperative SRS?), and technical aspects (target volumes? Single vs multiple fractions?). Presentations will emphasize these topics in the perspective of radiation toxicities (neurocognitive impairment and radiation necrosis).

Chair: M. Niyazi (Germany) Co-chair: G. Louvel (France)
