Radiation therapyWe present the update of the recommendations of the French society for radiation oncology on radiation therapy for the management of brain metastases. It has evolved in recent years and has become more complex. As the life expectancy of patients has increased and retreatments have ...
Recent progress in targeted systemic therapies for solid tumors has contributed to significantly increased survival times for patients with metastatic disease. However, this progress has been accompanied by a higher incidence of brain metastases (BM), with an estimated 10-40% of primary cancers develop...

Indeed, in the presented case, radiological differentiation between paraneoplastic ALE and HSE secondary to whole brain radiation therapy was not possible. Although rare, paraneoplastic ALE secondary to renal cell carcinoma has been reported [19], [20], [21]. The diagnosis of HSE in the presented...

Radiation therapy (RT) is the most important treatment modality following surgery in brain tumors. Most of them respond to radiation administered either in the form of an external beam, or as interstitial implants. Usually, postoperative RT considerably
The management of brain metastases (BM), the major cause of cancer morbidity and mortality, is becoming an emerging area of interest. Surgery, whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT), or stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), have historically been the main focal treatments for BM. However, the introducti...
