Post-SRS progression, the importance of early intervention, and what the evidence tells us

Post-SRS progression, the importance of early intervention, and what the evidence tells us

See this important discussion on the challenges and opportunities for patients with radiographic progressive disease, including a look at the tools and evidence available to practitioners to address specific patient needs. This program also includes a review of the latest prospective outcomes documenting the efficacy of laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) for biopsy proven radiation necrosis, the value of early biopsy for these patients, and where LITT fits in the treatment spectrum.
