Abstract excerpt

We investigated the outcomes of gamma knife radiosurgery (GKRS) for elderly patients (≥ 65 years) with brain metastases, and identified survival-associated factors. We retrospectively analyzed data from 115 patients treated with GKRS for 1-15 brain metastases. The median patient age was 72 years; most primary tumors were pulmonary (n = 83). The mean lesion volume was 2.1 ± 4.8 mL. A mean dose of 19.3 Gy was...
