The management of melanoma patients with brain metastases has changed rapidly in the last five years, and patients now have much-improved survival rates. Brain metastases are no longer a death sentence and many people can have control of their disease with quality life.In this podcast, Medical Oncologist A/Prof Alex Menzies, Neurosurgeon Dr Brindha Shivalingam and Radiation Oncologist Prof Angela Hong discuss the contemporary multidisciplinary management of patients with brain metastases and through examining two case studies, they discern the factors that need to be considered for deciding best practice.This podcast is suitable for medical oncologists, rural oncologists, radiation oncologists, surgeons (including neurosurgeons), and may also be of interest to GPs, oncology nurses and other healthcare practitioners.Please note that this podcast was accurate at the time of recording (March 2019) but maynot reflect the rapidly evolving treatment landscape and approvals in Australia.
