The impact of intracranial parenchymal brain metastases and extracranial disease burden at LMD diagnosis remains unclear. This study evaluates these factors alongside local and systemic therapies before and after LMD diagnosis.A retrospective analysis was conducted on 188 patients diagnosed with LMD between 2011 and 2024. Data on demographics, imaging findings, and treatments were collected. Kaplan-Meier estimates were used for survival analysis, and independent prognostic factors were identified using a backward-stepwise Cox regression model.Primary cancers included breast cancer (34.0 KW - Brain metastasis (Other) KW - Breast cancer (Other) KW - Lung cancer (Other) KW - Melanoma (Other) KW - Radiotherapy (Other) KW - Re-resection (Other) KW - Resection (Other) KW - Survival (Other) LB - PUB:(DE-HGF)16 C6 - pmid:39932528 DO - DOI:10.1007/s11060-025-04937-x UR - https://inrepo02.dkfz.de/record/298896 ER -
