“…The median survival of 10 patients was 4 months (range, 1-68 months); 2 patients treated with surgical resection and WBRT survived 60 months. The data from the literature shows that patient survival after the diagnosis of HM to the brain is poor, with a median survival time of usually less than 2 months (range, 0.2-83 months) [2,14,15,22,33,45]. Long-term survival is rare but has been documented in some patients with solitary brain lesions who underwent surgical resection and WBRT [15,32,43,45,50].…”
