Learning Objectives
With this webinar we aim to present:
- Size of Brain lesions suitable for treatment.
- Number of Metastases suitable for treatment.
- The number of lesions should never be the sole factor in determining the course of treatment, exploration of studies that support this.
- Total volume of metastases in CC.
- Linac SRT for the larger volume (mostly post-op residual/recurrence) cases – the outcomes of this to the role of Linac SRT for larger target volumes.
- Referral to treatment Metastases Pathways – significant findings which effect the patients pathways.
- Discussion and Live Q&A.
