Brain Metastasis: A Multidisciplinary Approach conveys vital information about management strategies, outcomes and techniques to enable Oncologists to provide a full range of appropriate care and counselling to patients with Metastatic spread to the brain.

Experts in each specialty have gathered that information which is most important for all Physicians caring for patients with Brain Metastasis.
