Single fraction stereotactic radiosurgery for multiple brain metastases
Introduction Due to the neurocognitive side effects of whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT), stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is being used with increasing frequency. The use of SRS is expanding for patients with multiple (>4) brain metastases (BM). This study summarizes our institutional experience with single-fraction, linear-accelerator-based SRS for multiple BM. Methods and materials All p...
متن کاملRadiosurgery for Brain Metastases
Except for solitary lesions causing mass effect, the treatment of brain metastases is primarily palliative. In the case of solitary metastases, the occurrence of longterm survival is not unheard of; but in general, the guiding philosophy is palliation, reversal of neurologic deficits and maintenance of quality of life and functional status. There has been disagreement regarding the total number...
متن کاملHyperArc VMAT planning for single and multiple brain metastases stereotactic radiosurgery: a new treatment planning approach
PURPOSE The HyperArc VMAT (HA-VMAT) planning approach was newly developed to fulfill the demands of dose delivery for brain metastases stereotactic radiosurgery. We compared the dosimetric parameters of the HA-VMAT plan with those of the conventional VMAT (C-VMAT). MATERIAL AND METHODS For 23 patients (1-4 brain metastases), C-VMAT and HA-VMAT plans with a prescription dose of 20-24 Gy were r...
متن کاملGamma knife radiosurgery for multiple brain metastases from lung cancer.
The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of gamma knife radiosurgery (GKS) for the treatment of multiple brain metastases from lung cancer with that of whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT). Patients with multiple (2-20) brain metastases were divided into two groups for initial brain tumor management: a GKS group (14 patients) and a WBRT group (19 patients). The patients were strat...
