FIGURE 1 Brain metastasis of right occipital lobe 7 months after concomitant chemoradiotherapy followed by surgery (A) had regressed once 3 months after whole-brain radiation therapy and X-knife stereotactic radiotherapy (B). However, it increased in size 9 months after whole-brain radiation therapy and X-knife stereotactic radiotherapy (C) and thereafter progressed further despite the performance of cyber-knife treatment (D).
