title: Resolution of small cell lung cancer intracranial metastases with standard dose chemotherapy.
abstract: Brain metastases are a well recognized problem in patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Most patients are treated with whole brain cranial irradiation therapy which frequently improves symptoms. In this report we present data on two patients who achieved radiologically confirmed complete resolution of brain metastases treated with standard dose chemotherapy for SCLC.
