Hi team,
I am working with my chair who has just started to work with residents. All of our other attending physicians use steroids in patients about to start WBRT to prevent/mitigate any edema (even in asymptomatic patients). My chair says we do not need to start steroids in asymptomatic patients when they get WBRT. I could not find any evidence to support or refute this. I could find papers on steroids+/- WBRT, but not vice versa. Do you guys have any leads? Thanks for the help.
