Interpretation of Evidence-based Guidelines on Role of Emerging and Investigational Therapies for Treatment of Adults with Metastatic Brain Tumors Published by CNS in 2019

Metastatic brain tumors are the most common intracranial tumors among adults. The Congress of Neurological Surgeons(CNS) published Evidence-based Clinical Practice Parameter Guidelines for the Treatment of Patients with Metastatic Brain Tumors in 2010, which set a foundation for standardized treatment of metastatic brain tumors. Based on recent advances in novel and investigational therapies, CNS has established Systematic Review and Evidence-Based Guidelines on the Role of Emerging and Investigational Therapies for the Treatment of Adults with Metastatic Brain Tumors in 2019, focusing on high intensity focused ultrasound, laser interstitial thermal therapy, radiation sensitizers, immune modulators, molecular targeted agents and so on. The guideline is hereby introduced and interpreted.
