Palliative whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) is often recommended in the management of multiple brain metastases. Allowing for WBRT waiting time, duration of the WBRT course and time to clinical response, it may take 6 weeks from the point of initial assessment for a benefit from WBRT to manifest. Patients who die within 6 weeks (‘early death’) may not benefit from WBRT and may instead experience a decline in quality of life. This study aimed to develop a prognostic index (PI) that identifies the subset of patients with lung cancer with multiple brain metastases who may not benefit from WBRT because of ‘early death’. The medical records of patients with lung cancer who had WBRT recommended for multiple brain metastases over a 10-year period were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were classified as either having died within 6 weeks or having lived beyond 6 weeks. Potential prognostic indicators were evaluated for correlation with ‘early death’. A PI was constructed by modelling the survival classification to determine the contribution of these factors towards shortened survival. Of the 275 patients recommended WBRT, 64 (23.22%) died within 6 weeks. The main prognostic factor predicting early death was Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) status >2. Patients with a high PI score (>13) were at higher risk of ‘early death’. Twenty-three per cent of patients died prior to benefit from WBRT. ECOG status was the most predictive for ‘early death’. Other factors may also contribute towards a poor outcome. With further refinement and validation, the PI could be a valuable clinical decision tool. 相似文献

The incidence of brain metastases (BM) is estimated between 20% and 40% of patients with solid cancer. The most common cause of this failure is lung cancer, and in locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) BM represent a common site of relapse in 30–55% cases. The basic criteria of therapeutic decision-making are based on the significant prognostic factors which are components of prognostic scores. The standard approach to treatment of BM from NSCLC include whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) which is used as adjuvant modality after local therapy (surgery or stereotactic radiosurgery) or as primary treatment and it remains the primary modality of treatment for patients with multiple metastases. WBRT is also used in combination with systemic therapy. The aim of presented review of literature is trying to answer which patients with BM from NSCLC should receive WBRT and when it could be omitted. There were presented the aspects of application of WBRT in relation to (I) choice between WBRT or the best supportive care and (II) employment of WBRT in combination with local treatment modalities [surgical resection or stereotactic radio-surgery (SRS)] and/or with systemic therapy. According to data from literature we concluded that the most important factor that needs to be considered when assessing the suitability of a patient for WBRT is the patient’s prognosis based on the Lung-molGPA score. WBRT should be applied in treatment of multiple BM from lung cancer in patients with favourable prognosis and in in patients with presence of EML4-ALK translocation before therapy with crizotinib. Whereas WBRT could be omitted in patients with poor prognosis and after primary SRS. 相似文献

Background
Because of the difficulties inherent to the treatment of metastatic melanoma to the brain including high rates of disease progression and local treatment failure, we attempted to determine the prognostic factors that impacted the outcome of these patients, and reviewed patient outcome based on primary treatment with either surgical resection or SRS.Methods
A retrospective review identified 37 patients treated for metastatic melanoma between July 2002 and April 2007. Information was obtained documenting systemic disease, preoperative symptoms, tumor size and location, disease recurrence, primary and secondary treatments, and survival time.Results
Two patients were alive as of March 2008. The median survival time for patients primarily treated with surgical resection was 9.7 months compared to 7.9 months for patients initially treated with SRS. Solitary brain metastases and the absence of both preoperative hemorrhage and lung metastases served as prognostic factors increasing survival in both groups. Four patients undergoing primary treatment with SRS required subsequent surgical intervention secondary to radiation necrosis (3 patients) or local recurrence (1 patient). All 4 had lesions greater than 1.5 cm. For surgical patients, planned postoperative treatment with either radiosurgery or radiation therapy increased survival time to 12.3 months vs 7.3 months.Conclusions
Patients with positive prognostic factors including solitary brain lesions, absence of hemorrhage preoperatively, and absence of lung disease are viable candidates for aggressive, surgical intervention followed by adjuvant therapy with radiosurgery or conventional radiation therapy. Other patients should be considered for more conservative treatment with radiosurgery or other palliative treatments. 相似文献7.
目的探讨伽玛射线大分割立体定向放疗(SRT)加或不加全脑放疗(WBRT)对肺癌有限脑转移瘤治疗的疗效。方法回顾性分析非小细胞肺癌多发脑转移瘤(1~4枚)患者66例,其中单纯SRT30例,SlIT+WBRT36例。分析两组患者的临床特征并应用Kaplan--Meier法计算生存率,用Logrank法对各因素进行预后分析。结果两组患者的临床特点无明显区别;SRT组与WBRT+SRT组的中位生存期(MST)分别为12.1与13.3个月,两者无显著性差异(P=0.216)。Logrank分析显示卡氏评分(P=0.017)和颅外病变的控制情况(P=0.032)是影响预后的主要因素。结论SRT是非小细胞肺癌有限脑转移瘤患者有效治疗手段,单纯SRT可取得与WBRT加SRT相似的生存期。 相似文献

Intracranial recurrence following initial cranial irradiation for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) can often be a treatment dilemma given the aggressive nature of the disease, the overall poor prognosis and concerns regarding re-treatment toxicity. The present report describes the case of a 62-year-old man diagnosed with ES-SCLC and synchronous brain metastases who initially underwent whole brain radiotherapy, chemotherapy and consolidative thoracic radiotherapy. The patient was found to have a solitary intracranial recurrence at both 3.5 and 6 years after his diagnosis. On both occasions, the patient received salvage stereotactic radiation, 30 Gy in 5 fractions, and continues to remain functionally independent. Overall, the present case demonstrates that with the appropriate patient selection, aggressive local salvage of recurrent intracranial ES-SCLC with stereotactic radiation can yield excellent and durable clinical outcomes. 相似文献
