Abbreviations: CI, cumulative incidence; DS-GPA, diagnosis-specific graded prognostic assessment; KPS, Karnofsky performance status; SqCC, squamous cell carcinoma; SRS, stereotactic radiosurgery.

*This P value corresponds to the initial 1.5 years following SRS; over the entire 5-year post-SRS period, P = 0.25.
