Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore the natural history and best treatment strategies for pituitary gland metastasis.
- A retrospective review found seven patients primarily with breast cancer and other types, revealing that treatment often included radiosurgery, with varying survival rates from about 6.5 to 117 months.
- Though surgical resection improved vision more effectively, it also led to more endocrine dysfunction, and overall patient survival still averaged less than a year.
Article Synopsis
- Metastasis is the most common brain tumor in adults, and early postoperative imaging is commonly performed, but its necessity without new deficits is questionable.
- Our study reviewed 130 patients who had brain metastases resected, finding that routine postoperative CT scans did not reveal any unexpected issues or change management practices.
- A systematic review, including our study, showed that routine postoperative CT scans have a low diagnostic yield and rarely lead to actionable findings after the resection of brain metastases.
