Brain metastases are commonly treated as a part of a general neurosurgical practice. Major changes in the management of brain metastases have occurred in the past decade. This webinar covers the management of brain metastases, including:

• Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SR);
• Post-SR Metastases;
• Surgical Resection of BM from Eloquent Cortex;
• Targeted Therapy; and
• Case Presentations Discussing Different Management Strategies.

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

• Describe advanced management strategies for brain metastases, including resection, stereotactic radiosurgery and immune therapy.
• Describe complex stereotactic radiosurgical planning for large metastases, brainstem metastases and cavities before and after resection.
• Diagnose and manage post-stereotactic radiosurgery (post-SR) brain metastases. 
• Describe the advantages and shortcomings of neuroimaging techniques in evaluating post-SR brain metastases.
• Develop an understanding of the role of corticosteroids, bevacizumab and craniotomy in the treatment of post-SR adverse radiation effect/radiation necrosis.
• Describe the current literature on the role of immune therapy as a primary treatment for brain metastases.
