Abstract
We evaluated 47 fatal cases of lung cancer with brain metastases and discussed prognosis statistically using quantification Type L Hemiplegia and headache were the most frequent clinical signs and symptoms. Convulsion and confusion were prognostically bad signs. As for the evaluation of prognostic factors, the categories of age, sex, histology, and effectiveness of radiation therapy on reduction of tumor size were important prognostic factors. A formula to evaluate prognosis was proposed.
