[Treatment of breast cancer patients with brain metastases]

Treatment of patients with brain metastases is based on an interdisciplinary approach. It is essential to perform a differenciated indication for procedures with consideration of all therapeutical options like modalities of radiotherapy, surgery and oncology. In the case of multiple brain metastases the whole brain radiotherapy is the standard of treatment, while in case of a single or solitary brain metastasis surgical procedures followed by radiotherapy should be preferred.
