Personally I think the study is well done and the results are difficult with which to argue. And probably if we are honest with our American RTOG selves, the dearth of randomized radiation-or-no-radiation trials here has been a travesty. One less (routine) patient and fractionated RT indication for the rad onc department. I will stop routinely offering WBRT for NSCLC brain mets. (And yet, we need more rad oncs?)
