Brain metastases in patients with cancer of unknown primary.

abstract：:In this review on current concepts in radiation therapy in the treatment of incompletely resected supratentorial low-grade glioma, a number of important issues are discussed. They include indication for radiation therapy, timing (early vs delayed), dose response issue, impact of modern neuroimaging, 'optimal' treatmen...
