Given the lack of consensus regarding the application of SRS versus resection for multiple brain metastases, the authors aimed to conduct a systematic literature review of all published work on the topic.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>METHODS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The PubMed, OVID, Cochrane, Web of Science, and Scopus databases were used to identify studies that examined clinical outcomes after resection or SRS was performed in patients with multiple brain metastases. Radiological studies, case series with fewer than 3 patients, pediatric studies, or national database studies were excluded. Data extracted included patient demographics and mean overall survival (OS).

The OS for the SRS group was 10.2 \u00b1 6 months, and for the resection group it was 6.5 \u00b1 3.8 months. A weighted ANOVA test comparing OS with covariates of age, sex, and publication year revealed that the treatment group (p = 0.045), age (p = 0.034), and publication year (0.0078) were all independently associated with OS (with SRS, younger age, and later publication year being associated with longer survival), whereas sex (p = 0.95) was not.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>For patients with multiple brain metastases, SRS and resection are effective treatments to prolong OS, with published data suggesting that SRS may have a trend toward lengthened survival outcomes.
