In talking about whole brain radiation in MBC brain mets Christine Hodgdon reminds the panel and audience that WBR, in addition to causing cognitive deficits, also has the “side effect” of excluding people from virtually all clinical trials. #ESMOBreast25

Christine Hodgdon also addresses patient concerns about brain biopsy - especially after attending an earlier session which presented data that biopsy or surgery of a brain met increases the risk of LMD. And kudos to Nancy Lin, MD for getting the patient perspective 1st! #ESMOBreast25
