چکیده

Many patients with few cerebral metastases receive radiosurgery alone. The goal of this study was to create a tool to estimate the survival of such patients. To identify characteristics associated with survival, nine variables including radiosurgery dose, age, gender, Eastern cooperative oncology group performance score (ECOG-PS), primary tumor type, number/size of cerebral metastases, location of cerebral metastases, extra-cerebral metastases and time between cancer diagnosis and radiosurgery were analyzed in 214 patients. On multivariate analysis, age (p=0.03), ECOG-PS (p=0.02) and extra-cerebral metastases (p<0.01) had significant impacts on survival. Scoring points for each patient were obtained from 12-month survival rates (in %) related to the significant variables divided by 10. Addition of the scoring points of the three variables resulted in a patient's total predictive score. Two groups were designed, A (10-14 points) and B (16-17 points). Twelve-month survival rates were 33% and 77%, respectively (p<0.001). Median survival times were 8 and 20 months, respectively. Because most patients of group A died from extra-cerebral disease and/or new cerebral lesions, early systemic treatment and additional WBI should be considered. As cause of death in group B was mostly new cerebral metastases, additional WBI appears even more important for this group.

Radiosurgery alone for 1-3 newly-diagnosed brain metastases from melanoma: impact of dose on treatment outcomes.

BACKGROUND/AIM To compare different doses of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for 1-3 newly-diagnosed cerebral metastases from melanoma. PATIENTS AND METHODS Fifty-four patients were assigned to dose groups of 20 Gy (N=36) and 21-22.5 Gy (N=18). Variables additionally analyzed were age, gender, Karnofsky Performance Score (KPS), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) before SRS, number of cerebral lesion...

A new prognostic instrument to predict the probability of developing new cerebral metastases after radiosurgery alone

BACKGROUND Addition of whole-brain irradiation (WBI) to radiosurgery for treatment of few cerebral metastases is controversial. This study aimed to create an instrument that estimates the probability of developing new cerebral metastases after radiosurgery to facilitate the decision regarding additional WBI. METHODS Nine characteristics were investigated for associations with the development ...

The role of systemic disease status in treatment outcomes for patients with newly diagnosed brain oligometastases and treated with stereotactic radiosurgery alone

Objective The role of adjuvant whole-brain radiation therapy in the treatment of oligometastatic brain disease with stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is not clearly defined. Many clinicians use a systemic disease status factor to determine whether SRS alone is sufficient; however, data is limited to support this approach. Methods We conducted a retrospective review of patients with newly diagnose...
