Phase II study of whole brain radiotherapy with or without erlotinib in patients with multiple brain metastases from lung adenocarcinoma
The aim of this paper is to explore the efficacy of whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) versus WBRT concurrent with erlotinib in patients with multiple brain metastases of lung adenocarcinoma. WBRT was administered at 30Gy/10f in both arms. In the combination arm, 150 mg erlotinib was given each day, starting the first day of radiotherapy and continuing for 1 month following the end of radiotherapy...
متن کاملFirst‐line epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)–tyrosine kinase inhibitor alone or with whole‐brain radiotherapy for brain metastases in patients with EGFR‐mutated lung adenocarcinoma
We proposed to compare the outcomes of first-line epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) alone with EGFR-TKI plus whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT) for the treatment of brain metastases (BM) in patients with EGFR-mutated lung adenocarcinoma. A total of 1665 patients were screened from 2008 to 2014, and 132 were enrolled in our study. Among the 132 patients, 72 (54.5...
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 کاملWhole brain radiotherapy with radiosensitizer for brain metastases
PURPOSE To study the efficacy of whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) with radiosensitizer in comparison with WBRT alone for patients with brain metastases in terms of overall survival, disease progression, response to treatment and adverse effects of treatment. METHODS A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCT) was performed in order to compare WBRT with radiosensitizer for 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...
