CyberKnife radiosurgery for the treatment of orbital metastases.

چکیده
Purpose of this study is to evaluate radiographic therapy response, clinical outcome and adverse effects of CyberKnife radiosurgery in patients suffering from orbital metastases. Sixteen orbital metastases originating from different solid cancers in fourteen patients were treated by single fraction CyberKnife radiosurgery. Radiographic response and clinical outcome were evaluated. The treated tumor volume ranged from 0.2 to 35 cm3 (median 2.3 cm3, mean 7.0 cm3, SD 6 10.4 cm3, CI 0.9-9.4 cm3). The prescription dose ranged from 16.5-21 Gy (median 18 Gy, mean 18.2 Gy, SD 6 1.2 Gy, CI 17.0-18.4 Gy). A no change situation was observed in nine lesions, partial remission in four as well as complete remission in one metastasis. Tumor growth was stabilized or regressive following CyberKnife therapy in 87% of the cases. Recurrence was observed in two cases (13%). Before therapy, three patients suffered from visual disturbance and five patients reported diplopia. Six patients had no initial symptoms. After therapy, one patient indicated improvement of the present visual deficit and two patients no change. Out of the two patients with persistent diplopia, two reported improvement after therapy and three no change. No progression of symptoms was noted in any of the cases. Fourteen out of sixteen treated lesions were stable or regressive following CyberKnife radiosurgery (87%). As no serious adverse effects were reported in this series, CyberKnife therapy was shown to be of great value for local management of orbital metastases.

متن کاملCyberknife Radiosurgery and Concurrent Intrathecal Chemotherapy for Leptomeningeal Metastases: Case Report of Prolonged Survival of a HER-2+ Breast Cancer Patient Status-Post Craniospinal Irradiation
Leptomeningeal disease (LMD) from breast cancer is usually a rapidly fatal condition, with median overall survival reported to be 15 weeks. Conventional treatment for LMD includes craniospinal irradiation and intrathecal (IT) methotrexate. However, the role of stereotactic radiation for leptomeningeal disease remains poorly defined. This case report describes our experience using Cyberknife rad...
متن کاملCyberKnife Robotic Radiosurgery of Three Pancreatic Metastases of Renal Cell Cancer in One Treatment Session
Introduction: Pancreatic metastasis accounts for 2% to 11% of all renal cell cancer (RCC) metastases. In good clinical status, patients are selected for surgery, and in more advanced disease, for systemic chemotherapy. Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) do not play a therapeutic role so far. Materials Methods: A 57-year-old patient was treated with Cy...
متن کاملInvestigation of the efficacy and safety of CyberKnife hypofractionated stereotactic radiotherapy for brainstem metastases using a new evaluation criterion: ‘symptomatic control’
The treatment of brainstem metastases remains a challenge as the brainstem itself is considered a neurological organ at risk. We aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of CyberKnife hypofractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (HFSRT) for brainstem metastases, and to examine the balance between efficacy and safety for the management of neurological symptoms. A total of 26 lesions [pons (n =...
