Figure 1From: Is stereotactic radiosurgery a rational treatment option for brain metastases from small cell lung cancer? A retrospective analysis of 70 consecutive patientsSurvival results for patients with BM from SCLC treated with SRS. The solid line represents overall survival (OS) probability. The median survival time (MST) was 7.8 months (95% CI: 6.2–12.6). One-and 2-year OS rates after SRS were 43% and 15%, respectively. The dotted line represents the neurological death-free survival (NS) probability adjusted for competing events. The 1-and 2-year NS rates after SRS were 94 and 84%, respectively. Note that the distance between these two lines, NS and OS, represents the cumulative incidence of non-neurological death.Back to article page
