Brain Metastases Journal Club | Neurosurgery Course | March 28, 2023

Now that we’ve covered the basics of brain metastases and their treatment, we will dive into the literature to explore how research is advancing the approach to these pathologies. In this discussion led by Dr. Michael Ivan and our student presenters, we cover 3 important articles regarding the neurosurgical management of brain metastases:
