Radiosurgery and Immunotherapy for Melanoma Patients With Brain Metastases

Video

In this video we discuss the use of concurrent immunotherapy and stereotactic radiosurgery for treatment of melanoma brain metastases.

A new retrospective study found that patients with melanoma brain metastases who were treated with immunotherapy and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) within a month of each other had more robust and rapid tumor shrinkage.

In this video, senior study author Veronica L. S. Chiang, MD, of the Department of Neurosurgery at the Yale School of Medicine in New Haven, Connecticut, discusses the results of the study. Click here to read more.
