- Abstract : Radiotherapy represents the mainstay of treatment for brain metastases. Radiotherapy modalities include whole brain irradiation alone, whole brain irradiation combined with stereotctic radiotherapy boost and stereotactic radiotherapy alone. We reviewed some published clinical studies, and try to discuss the advantages, shortcomings and clinical indications for the above radiotherapy modalities. Paragraph Headings: 1. Treatment Modality for Brain Metastases 2. Whether SRT Boost is Necessary after WBI? 3. Whether SRT Could Replace WBI 4. RT-induced Neurological Complications 5. Conclusion
