rCBV and survival in the series and in those with primary tumours. PFS and OS were calculated from start date of PCV (n number of cases, nc not calculated, nr median survival not reached). Contrast enhancement (present vs absent), age (<50 vs ≥50 years), ECOG performance status (0–1 vs ≥2) and gender (male vs female) were not significantly related to PFS or OS
