Tick marks indicatepatients (living or dead) in whom brain recurrences did not develop. Figure Legend:

Recurrence of the original brain metastasis was defined as thereappearance of a metastasis in the exact site in the brain as the first brainmetastasis. Tick marks indicate patients (living or dead) who did not developrecurrences of the original metastasis. Figure Legend:

Tick marks indicate patients (living or dead) who did notdevelop distant brain metastases. Figure Legend:

The radiation group (white squares) had amedian survival of more than 115 weeks, and the observation group (black circles)had a median survival of 81 weeks (relative risk of death from neurologiccauses, 2.62; 95% confidence interval, 1.03-6.64). Length of survival wasmeasured from the beginning of treatment for the original brain metastasis.Tick marks indicate patients who did not die of neurologic causes or the lastfollow-up evaluation in living patients.
