A summary of intracranial benefit according to primary diagnosis is presented. Clinical benefit occurred in 37% (13/35) of patients with breast cancer and 43% (3/7) of patients with NSCLC. Both patients with melanoma BMs achieved intracranial benefit. For patients with breast cancer, summaries according to cancer subtype are provided. Using a Fisher’s exact test with a two-sided P value, there was no significant relationship between clinical benefit and either breast cancer subtype (P = 0.55) or HR status (P = 0.31). No adjustment was made for multiple comparison.
