A desired goal in the radiosurgery (RS) of brain metastases is improved local control. Our earlier retrospective review identified pattern of enhancement on day-of-treatment imaging as a prognostic indicator for freedom from progression (FFP) after RS in 219 brain metastases. The current study was performed to corroborate this preliminary finding.
