Contemporary Analysis of Minimal Clinically Important Difference in the Neurosurgical Literature.

abstract：:The use OF chemotherapy to treat patients with brain metastases has been viewed historically with skepticism. To date, a survival benefit has not been demonstrated with the use of systemic chemotherapy in patients with brain metastases. However, the introduction of novel agents and delivery techniques warrants a reexa...
