A new disease-specific prognostic score (Disease-specific Prognostic Score for Patients With Brain Metastases From Small-cell Lung Cancer termed BMS-Score) was published to clarify the prognosis of patients with brain metastasis (BM) of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) treated with whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT). The purpose of the present study was to validate the prognostic value of the newly proposed BMS-Score through comparison with three other previously published prognostic indices.
