Analysis of prognostic factors and comparison of prognostic index scores in patients with brain metastases after whole-brain radiotherapy.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Brain metastases (BMs) are typically associated with poor patient prognosis. Radiation therapy remains the primary treatment for BMs, and patient's prognosis is affected by many factors. The aim of this study was to identify prognostic factors and to compare prognostic index scores in patients with BMs who received whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT). METHODS A retrospectiv...
متن کاملEfficacy and toxicity of whole brain radiotherapy in patients with multiple cerebral metastases from malignant melanoma
BACKGROUND To retrospectively access outcome and toxicity of whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) in patients with multiple brain metastases (BM) from malignant melanoma (MM). PATIENTS AND METHODS Results of 87 patients (median age 58 years; 35 female, 52 male) treated by WBRT for BM of MM between 2000 and 2011 were reviewed. Total dose applied was either 30 Gy in 10 fractions (n = 56) or 40 Gy in...
متن کاملPrognostic factors for survival in patients treated with stereotactic radiosurgery for recurrent brain metastases after prior whole brain radiotherapy.
PURPOSE To evaluate prognostic factors for survival after stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for new, progressive, or recurrent brain metastases (BM) after prior whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT). METHODS AND MATERIALS Patients treated between 1991 and 2007 with Gamma Knife SRS for BM after prior WBRT were retrospectively reviewed. Potential prognostic factors were analyzed overall and by primary ...
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 کاملSurvival and prognostic factors in patients with brain metastases from malignant melanoma.
AIM We wanted to determine the factors influencing survival in a retrospective review of patients with melanoma brain metastases to permit more specific recommendations regarding therapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS We reviewed the data of 100 patients treated at the Department of Dermatology and Radiation Oncology, University of Zurich, and the Klinik im Park, Zurich. Information on potential progn...
