1-3 Synchronous brain metastases in newly diagnosed non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC): validation of the disease specific GPA

Graded prognostic assessment (GPA) for brain metastases is an important prognostic tool. Patients with brain metastasis from non-small cell lung cancer at initial diagnosis may have a more favorable prognosis. We validate that the DS-GPA provides accurate prediction of survival rates in this population and identify performance status, extracranial metastases, squamous histology, and number of metastases as predictors of survival.
