Interim Data from the Medical Research Council QUARTZ Trial: Does Whole Brain Radiotherapy Affect the Survival and Quality of Life of Patients with Brain Metastases from Non-small Cell Lung Cancer?

They provide key information for discussing the trial with patients and strengthen the argument for continuing QUARTZ to definitively answer this important clinical question.
