Sponsor: John L. Villano, MD, PhD
Summary
This study evaluates whether review by the University of Kentucky Markey Cancer Center Neuro-Oncology Multidisciplinary Tumor Board improves clinical outcomes for adults with advanced brain metastases. Participants receive standard-of-care treatment as determined by their treating physicians. The study assesses whether multidisciplinary tumor board review and implementation of its treatment recommendations are associated with improved overall survival, progression-free survival, treatment selection and other clinical outcomes compared with patients who do not adhere to the tumor board recommendations.
