Abstract
Brain metastases are an important cause of mortality and morbidity. The prognosis is poor with a median survival of less than one year in the majority of cases. From this review, whole-brain irradiation clearly appears as the standard treatment. However, its role could be discussed according to newer treatment modalities, radiosurgery or new chemotherapies. Post irradiation neurocognitive status remains insufficiently known.
