MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a retrospective study that evaluated the results of 46 patients treated for brain metastases at Dr. Abdurrahman Yurtaslan Ankara Oncology Training an...
متن کاملdifferent 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 کاملWhole brain radiotherapy plus stereotactic radiosurgery (WBRT+SRS) versus surgery plus whole brain radiotherapy (OP+WBRT) for 1-3 brain metastases: results of a matched pair analysis.
This study is the first one to compare WBRT+SRS to OP+WBRT for 1-3 brain metastases. Survival (OS), intracerebral control (IC) and local control (LC) of the treated metastases were retrospectively evaluated in 52 patients undergoing WBRT+SRS and in 52 patients undergoing OP+WBRT. Both groups were matched for WBRT schedule, age, gender, performance status, tumour, number of brain metastases, ext...
