Outcomes after whole brain reirradiation in patients with brain metastases.
PURPOSE Patients with brain metastases are often treated with whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT) for purposes of palliation. The treatment of those who experience subsequent intracranial disease progression can include a second course of WBRT, although there is controversy surrounding its safety and efficacy. This study examines the outcomes in patients at Massachusetts General Hospital who u...
متن کاملStereotactic body radiotherapy for spinal and bone metastases.
Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) can deliver high radiation doses to small volumes with very tight margins, which has significant advantages when treating tumours close to the spinal cord or at sites of retreatment. When treating spinal tumours, meticulous quality control is essential with effective immobilisation, as dose gradients at the edge of the spinal cord will be steep and excessiv...
متن کاملRetreatment with trastuzumab-based therapy after disease progression following lapatinib in HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer.
BACKGROUND Preclinical data suggest that treatment with lapatinib reinduces sensitivity to trastuzumab in human epidermal growth factor receptor 2(HER2)-positive breast cancer cells. PATIENTS AND METHODS Between January 2007 and November 2010, 179 HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer patients were treated with lapatinib and capecitabine at nine Italian institutions. We evaluated the clinica...
متن کاملOutcomes of proton therapy for the treatment of uveal metastases.
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Radiation therapy can be used to treat uveal metastases with the goal of local control and improvement of quality of life. Proton therapy can be used to treat uveal tumors efficiently and with expectant minimization of normal tissue injury. Here, we report the use of proton beam therapy for the management of uveal metastases. METHODS AND MATERIALS A retrospective chart re...
متن کاملLong-term Outcomes after Salvage Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) following In-Field Failure of Initial SRS for Brain Metastases
Purpose The optimal treatment strategy following local recurrence after stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) remains unclear. While upfront SRS has been extensively studied, few reports focus on outcomes after retreatment. Here, we report the results following a second course of SRS for local recurrence of brain metastases previously treated with SRS. Methods Using institutional database, patients...
