Hypofractionated stereotactic radiotherapy for the treatment of brain metastases.
BACKGROUND This retrospective review evaluated the efficacy and toxicity profiles of various dose fractionations using hypofractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (HSRT) in the treatment of brain metastases. METHODS Between 2004 and 2007, 36 patients with 66 brain metastases were treated with HSRT. Nine of these subjects were excluded because of the absence of post-treatment magnetic resonance...
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 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 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 کامل[Stereotactic radiosurgery and radiotherapy for brain metastases].
Brain metastases management is still controversial even though many trials are trying to define the respective roles of neurosurgery, whole-brain radiotherapy, single-dose stereotactic radiotherapy and fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy. In this article, we review data from trials that examine the role of radiosurgery and fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy in the management of brain met...
