Current stats from Dana Farber and a couple of other studies say 30%. That is pretty good reason for gong forward with brain mets every two years initially. It seems pretty clear that if you get to 6-8 years disease free, you have dodged the brain mets garbage. That is 70% of the time. Pretty good odds, but you have to get treatment early if you can. I hate this fact, but I had to deal with it personally. two and half years later, we appear to have hit the correct mix. Time to spread the word.
