      <i>Background</i> - The current study was aimed at investigating the feasibility of hippocampus‐avoidance whole‐brain radiation therapy with a simultaneous integrated boost (HA‐WBRT+SIB) for metastases and at assessing tumor control in comparison with conventional whole‐brain radiation therapy (WBRT) in patients with multiple brain metastases.<p> <p><i>Methods</i> - Between August 2012 and December ...

      Background: It has been suggested to replace the diagnosis-specific graded prognostic assessment (DS-GPA, based on performance status and number of brain metastases) for patients with primary malignant melanoma with the new Melanoma-molGPA. The latter is a more complex assessment, which also includes BRAF mutation status, age and extracranial metastases. To test the performance of the Melanoma-molGPA, ...
