[Radiation therapy of choriocarcinoma metastatic to the brain].
Brain irradiation for metastases was performed in 3 cases of choriocarcinoma of pregnancy and 1 patient with testicular choriocarcinoma of embryonal origin. Treatment failed in 2 cases due to tumor advancement, while the other 2 patients showed marked response. Early diagnosis and proper treatment of intracranial metastases may significantly increase survival.
