    Brain metastases are more common than primary brain tumors and can significantly worsen patient prognosis.

  • 2

    Three established prognostic scores for brain metastases are the SIR, GPA, and RPA, each predicting overall survival.

  • 3

    The SIR score includes five factors: age, KPS, systemic disease status, largest lesion volume, and number of cerebral lesions.

  • 4

    The GPA score evaluates age, KPS, presence of extracranial metastases, and number of brain metastases without lesion volume.

  • 5

    RPA categorizes patients based on KPS, age, and control of primary tumor, helping to stratify patients for treatment decisions.
