[Global brain metastases management strategy: a multidisciplinary-based approach].

Area of Science:

• Neuro-oncology
• Clinical neurology
• Cancer therapeutics

Context:

• Brain metastases management has significantly evolved over the past 15 years.
• Treatment strategies vary, ranging from conservative to aggressive approaches, often in combination.
• Improved patient survival and quality of life are key outcomes.

Purpose:

• To propose an updated management strategy for brain metastases.
• To integrate current knowledge and available therapeutic resources.
• To guide multidisciplinary decision-making in neuro-oncology.

Summary:

• Treatment decisions for brain metastases require multidisciplinary analysis.
• Prognostic factors include patient's general condition, extracerebral disease, and lesion characteristics.
• The proposed strategy aligns with current evidence and therapeutic options.

Impact:

• Enhanced patient outcomes in brain metastases treatment.
• Standardized approach to complex neuro-oncological cases.
• Improved quality of life for patients with brain metastases.
