Abstrakt: The authors describe the results of cranial radiotherapy in 22 patients with brain metastases due to mammary cancer; 77.5% of the patients responded to treatment, 45.5% showing a complete response. The mean survival attained was 6.4 months for all the patients and 18 months for those with complete response. The presence of cerebellar metastases makes worse the prognosis.
