Abstract
BACKGROUND: A considerable proportion of metastatic brain tumors progress locally despite stereotactic radiation treatment, and it can take months before such local progression is evident on follow-up imaging. Prediction of radiotherapy outcome in terms of tumor local failure is crucial for these patients and can facilitate treatment adjustments or allow for early salvage therapies.
