Survival Of Patients With Multiple Brain Metastases Treated With Whole

Survival Of Patients With Multiple Brain Metastases Treated With Whole Short median survival of 2.7 months may reflect poorer prognosis of patients referred due to large amount of referrals for radiosurgery. prognostic factors for survival should be considered at consultation. Patients with brain metastases usually have a limited survival with an observed median survival of 3–6 months following whole brain radiation treatment (wbrt) [2]. the treatment is usually aimed toward improving health related quality of life through palliation of symptoms [3].

Overall Survival And Her 2 Status In 56 Patients With Brain Metastases We developed a survival score in 128 patients treated with wbrt sib. three models, each including three prognostic groups, were created. positive predictive values (ppvs) for death ≤6 and survival ≥6 months were calculated. For patients with multiple brain metastases or presenting with uncontrolled primary tumor or multiple extracerebral metastases, whole brain radiotherapy (wbrt) is the treatment of choice, associated with corticosteroids as symptomatic treatment. In the multivariable cox regression model, patients who received additional immunotherapy molecularly targeted therapy had a higher chance of survival than others. overall survival was influenced by control of primary cancer, extracranial metastases, age, karnofsky performance status, and number of brain metastases. Median survival varies widely and our ability to estimate survival for patients with brain metastases has improved. the updated gpa (available free at brainmetgpa ) provides an accurate tool with which to estimate survival, individualize treatment, and stratify clinical trials.

Objective: to observe whether whole brain radiotherapy (wbrt) can bring survival benefits to patients with multiple brain metastases (bm) from non small cell lung cancer (nsclc) treated by epidermal growth factor receptor (egfr) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (tki) and determine the best time for wbrt intervention. Patients with treated lesions had a median progression free survival of 7.6 mo. there were no differences in os (19.7 vs 9.5 mo) or progression free survival (10.6 vs 6.3 mo) based on prior irradiation. Baseline evaluations were repeated at 2, 4, 6 and 12 months. secondary end points were overall survival (os), intracranial progression free survival (pfs), toxicity, and patient reported qol. On average, patients diagnosed with brain metastases treated with steroid therapy alone survive one to two months [2]. the eradication of tumor cells in the brain undergoing rapid mitosis with wbrt can extend the average survival of select patient from four to seven months [2].
