From: Stereotactic Radiosurgery Plus Whole-Brain Radiation Therapy vs Stereotactic Radiosurgery Alone for Treatment of Brain MetastasesA Randomized Controlled Trial JAMA. 2006;295(21): doi: /jama The mean survival time was 7.5 months for patients receiving whole-brain radiation therapy (WBRT) plus stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and 8.0 months for patients receiving SRS alone. This difference was not significant (P =.42). There was a statistically significant decrease in brain tumor recurrence in the WBRT+SRS group (P =.003). Figure Legend:
