Clinical and volumetric predictors of local control after robotic stereotactic radiosurgery for cerebral metastases: active systemic disease may affect local control in the brain

Abstract

The aim of the study was to assess the association between physical and biological dose normalized to volume of the metastatic tumor as well as clinical factors with local control in patients with brain metastases who underwent robotic stereotactic radiosurgery.
