- Abstract
The article presents a study that aims to assist in the creation of management guidelines on central nervous system (CNS) surveillance or treatment of patients with renal cell carcinoma brain metastases (RCCBM). It was found that patients with metastatic RCC should be examined with CNS screening to identify smaller and asymptomatic lesions, which maybe amenable to less invasive treatment. Findings show that patients with a solitary BM are less likely to develop CNS recurrence.
