Description
This study of our patients with brain metastasis who underwent multiple stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) procedures aimed to validate whether the recently proposed prognostic grading system, brain metastasis velocity (BMV), is generally applicable. The BMV scores the cumulative number of new brain metastases that developed after the first SRS divided by time (years) since the initial SRS. Patients were categorized into 3 classes by their BMV scores (ie, ≤3, 4-13, and ≥14).
