Whole brain radiotherapy in patients with NSCLC and brain metastases
1960 www.thelancet.com Vol 388 October 22, 2016 Radiation oncologists are often challenged because of the paucity of randomised trials supporting their clinical practice. In terms of brain metastases treatment, it should be emphasised that there have been fi ve randomised trials assessing whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT): four studies assessing stereotactic radio therapy with or without WBRT for...
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 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 کاملRandomized Trial of Erlotinib Plus Whole-Brain Radiotherapy for NSCLC Patients With Multiple Brain Metastases
BACKGROUND Median survival of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with brain metastases is poor. We examined concurrent erlotinib and whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) followed by maintenance erlotinib in patients with untreated brain metastases, given the potential radiosensitizing properties of erlotinib and its direct effect on brain metastases and systemic activity. METHODS Eighty N...
متن کاملWhole-brain radiotherapy for NSCLC patients with multiple brain metastases – an update
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) constitutes approximately 85% of all lung cancers, with the majority of patients having advanced disease at presentation. Between 10-20% present with brain metastases (BM) and up to 40% of patients will develop BM. The overall median survival is reported to average three to four months if treated with whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) alone. Management of BM pat...
