Background: Whole brain radiation therapy is commonly used in the treatment of patients with CNS metastatic disease. Radiation to other areas of the body is associated with decrease in bone marrow proliferation. It is unclear what the effects ofWBRT have on blood counts. Methods: Retrospective chart review of patients with brain metastases treated with WBRT with recorded hematologic valuesbefore and after treatment. Univariate analysis was performed to identify statistical differences in outcome via paired t -testing. Results: Forty-nine patients were analyzed. Median age was 61 and 36 subjects were female.
