    WBRT plus concomitant boost, without systemic therapy if only had brain metastasis

    This case should be discussed in MDT with a radiation oncologist. 
    The patient is 75, he has brain metastasis as a single organ site. Based on the number of metastatic lesions, I would favour Whole Brain Radiotherapy. After re-evaluation of the brain and in the absence of disease progression at other sites, in a discussion with the patient, I would suggest no further systemic therapy, surveillance imaging and would wait for documented relapse to start another treatment depending on the clinical presentation.
