different fractionation in whole brain irradiation for multiple brain metastases
background : this study compared the efficacy of two commonly used fractionation schedules for palliative whole brain irradiation in patients with brain metastases, and assessed the association of the radiotherapy therapy oncology group (rtog) recursive partitioning analysis for brain metastases (rpa) to survival with each schedule. methods : patients with multiple (more than three) brain metas...
متن کاملBrain metastases: fractionated whole-brain radiotherapy.
Brain metastases are the most common malignant adult intracranial tumors, occurring in approximately 10-30% of cancer patients, and generally lead to a poor prognosis. The incidence has been steadily rising, likely due to longer survival from newer systemic therapies and increased utilization of magnetic resonance imaging. Historically, whole-brain radiotherapy has been a standard of care for t...
متن کاملDosimetric comparison of two different whole brain radiotherapy techniques in patients with brain metastases: How to decrease lens dose?
Background: Palliative whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) has been the standard treatment for brain metastases. Ionizing radiation is known to be one of the most potent cataractogenic agents. We aimed to evaluate two different radiotherapy techniques with respect to the doses received by the organs at risk (OAR) in patients with brain metastasis who undergone WBRT. Materials and Methods: Ten conse...
متن کاملHippocampal-avoidance whole-brain radiation therapy: a new standard for patients with brain metastases?
The use of whole-brain radiation therapy (WBRT) for brain metastases was first described in the 1950s. Since that time, WBRT has long been considered the treatment of choice, given its wide availability, ease of delivery, and effectiveness in providing palliation for many patients. Numerous phase III trials have also validated its benefit in improving neurologic signs and symptoms for many pati...
