Management

  • For patients with low BMV (scores <4), localized therapy (e.g. SRS) might be most appropriate.

  • Counseling patients with high BMV (scores >13) that there is an increased risk of needing additional therapies in the future, should a localized approach be considered, is an important part of management.
