Abstract: Brain metastases comprise the most common intracranial neoplasms in adults. When determining the treatment modality for brain metastases, expected survival duration and quality of life aspects should be taken into consideration. Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) has emerged as a viable radiotherapeutic modality for management of brain metastases. Target volume definition is a critical component of SRS of brain metastases due to typically steep dose gradients around the treatment volume.
