    Brain metastasis is common and historically linked to poor prognosis, with WBRT causing neurocognitive decline.

  • 2

    Focal strategies like GKRS are preferred for brain metastases, preserving cognition while maintaining oncologic outcomes.

  • 3

    Postoperative cavity-directed GKRS improves local control compared to observation after resection.

  • 4

    Cavity geometry evolves post-surgery, influenced by various factors, complicating the understanding of its dynamics.

  • 5

    This study analyzes changes in postoperative cavity volume following GKRS and their relationship to local control.
