Abstract
Our results suggest that chemotherapy can be used to increase survival of patients treated with cranial irradiation for newly diagnosed NSCLC with synchronous BM. However, systemic chemotherapy should be carefully considered according to the patient's prognostic condition. Especially, patients with good performance status and limited number of BM may be good candidates for systemic chemotherapy after cranial irradiation.
