The survey was conducted online using Google Forms, and the URL was distributed to members of the FARO research committee. Radiation oncologists associated with FARO responded to the questionnaire between May 2023 and June 2023, and their answers were analyzed.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Responses were received from 32 radiation oncologists in 13 countries participating in FARO. Twenty-six physicians (81.3%) were affiliated with academic centers, and 22 (68.8%) were able to perform stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) or fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (fSRT) for BMs at their institution. The most typically used prognostic index for BM was the recursive partitioning analysis classification (17 physicians, 53.1%). The maximum number of BMs indicated for SRT\/SRS was \u2264three (11 physicians, 34.4%), whereas eight (25.0%) physicians answered for 6-10 BMs. The maximum size of BMs considered for SRS\/fSRT was \u22643 cm (14 physicians, 43.8%), whereas nine (28.1%) answered that SRS\/fSRT was preferred if the maximum size was &gt;4 cm. When whole-brain radiotherapy (RT) was indicated, hippocampal avoidance and memantine usage were limited to 50.0% and 25.0% of patients, respectively. The most typical RT modality after BM resection was SRS\/fSRT alone, regardless of whether the margin was positive (19 physicians, 59.4%) or negative (13 physicians, 40.6%).<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>CONCLUSION<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>We report the survey results of the patterns of care for BMs in the FARO. This survey was conducted only among a limited number of FARO members. Since many respondents were affiliated with relatively large-scale academic centers, large-scale surveys, including community hospitals, are warranted for future initiatives.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1200\/go.24.00222","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,17]],"date-time":"2024-10-17T19:59:22Z","timestamp":1729195162000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1200\/crossmark","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Patterns of Care for Brain Metastases in Asia: A Real-World Survey Conducted by the Federation of Asian Organizations for Radiation Oncology"],"prefix":"10.1200","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5404-6109","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Yusuke","family":"Uchinami","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiation Oncology, Faculty of Medicine and Graduate School of Medicine, Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8341-2622","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Archya","family":"Dasgupta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiation Oncology, Advanced Centre for Treatment Research and Education in Cancer, Tata Memorial Centre, Homi Bhabha National Institute, Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8272-7603","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Kentaro","family":"Nishioka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiation Oncology, Faculty of Medicine and Graduate School of Medicine, Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2834-9090","authenticated-orcid":true,"family":"Handoko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiation Oncology, Cipto Mangunkusumo National General Hospital, Jakarta, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3915-8927","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jayant Sastri","family":"Goda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiation Oncology, Advanced Centre for Treatment Research and Education in Cancer, Tata Memorial Centre, Homi Bhabha National Institute, Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jun Won","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiation Oncology, Gangnam Severance Hospital, Yonsei University College of Medicine, Seoul, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rizma Mohd","family":"Zaid","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiotherapy &amp;
