Effectiveness of ITT is confirmed by higher quality of life (72% of patients), complete cytological responses (24%) and improvement in neuroimaging data. This is an important criterion for severe patients with limited treatment options. First-stage ITT before whole-brain irradiation is preferable, as this approach increases overall survival by 3 months. Undoubtedly, ITT is a treatment option that can be used in routine clinical practice for lesions of brain and spinal cord sheaths.
