The EANO–ESMO Clinical Practice Guidelines (2021) provide comprehensive recommendations for the diagnosis, brain metastases treatment, and follow-up of patients with brain metastases (BMs) originating from solid tumors. These guidelines are a collaborative effort between the European Association of Neuro-Oncology (EANO) and the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO).

* Neuroimaging: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) with contrast is the preferred modality for detecting BMs. Recommended sequences include pre- and post-contrast T1-weighted, T2-weighted, T2-FLAIR, and diffusion-weighted imaging.

* Screening: Routine brain imaging is advised for patients with certain high-risk cancers, such as:

• Stage IV melanoma

• Metastatic HER2-positive or triple-negative breast cancer

• Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), excluding stage I

* Surgery: Considered for patients with a single brain metastasis or multiple resectable lesions, especially if they present with significant mass effect or require histological diagnosis.

* Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS):

• Recommended for patients with 1–4 brain metastases.
• May be considered for those with 5–10 metastases, provided the cumulative tumor volume is less than 15 mL.

* Whole-Brain Radiotherapy (WBRT): Reserved for patients with multiple brain metastases not amenable to SRS or surgery.

* Systemic Therapy:

• Treatment should be tailored based on the histological and molecular characteristics of the primary tumor.
• When feasible, molecular profiling of the brain metastasis itself is recommended to guide targeted therapies.([reference.medscape.com][3])

* Imaging: Regular MRI scans are essential to monitor treatment response and detect disease progression.

* Multidisciplinary Approach: Optimal management involves collaboration among neuro-oncologists, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, neurosurgeons, and other specialists.
