📌 Impact of Radionecrosis and Local Recurrence on Overall Survival After Stereotactic Radiosurgery for Brain Metastases 🧠

🔗 https://t.co/zLFWzoaKKY
@ASTRO_org @EJVaios @PeterFecci
@MuzamilArshad18

🔹1383 pts
🔸 large, multi-institutional cohort
🔹 Patients diagnosed with LR were diagnosed sooner after SRS than RN (5.8 vs 8.3 months)
🔸 Local recurrence was associated with significantly worse OS than radionecrosis (15.2 vs 40.4 months)
🔹 Patients symptomatic from either LR or RN presented earlier after SRS than asymptomatic patients and had worse OS
🔸 On binomial logistic regression, RN was associated with single fraction SRS (odds ratio [OR] = 0.38, P = 0.012), receipt of immunotherapy after SRS (OR = 0.32, P < 0.014), and a longer interval from SRS (OR = 0.94, P = 0.028).
