Prognostic factors and outcome of surgically treated patients with brain metastases of non‐small cell lung cancer

Background Brain metastases (BM) are a common consequence of lung cancer and surgery is effective; however, the factors affecting survival after surgery are unclear. The aim of this study was to identify the outcomes and prognoses of post‐metastasectomy patients with BM from non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) at a single institution over a 15‐year period.
