Single fraction stereotactic radiosurgery for multiple brain metastases
Introduction Due to the neurocognitive side effects of whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT), stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is being used with increasing frequency. The use of SRS is expanding for patients with multiple (>4) brain metastases (BM). This study summarizes our institutional experience with single-fraction, linear-accelerator-based SRS for multiple BM. Methods and materials All p...
متن کاملHyperArc VMAT planning for single and multiple brain metastases stereotactic radiosurgery: a new treatment planning approach
PURPOSE The HyperArc VMAT (HA-VMAT) planning approach was newly developed to fulfill the demands of dose delivery for brain metastases stereotactic radiosurgery. We compared the dosimetric parameters of the HA-VMAT plan with those of the conventional VMAT (C-VMAT). MATERIAL AND METHODS For 23 patients (1-4 brain metastases), C-VMAT and HA-VMAT plans with a prescription dose of 20-24 Gy were r...
متن کاملRadiosurgery for Brain Metastases
Except for solitary lesions causing mass effect, the treatment of brain metastases is primarily palliative. In the case of solitary metastases, the occurrence of longterm survival is not unheard of; but in general, the guiding philosophy is palliation, reversal of neurologic deficits and maintenance of quality of life and functional status. There has been disagreement regarding the total number...
متن کاملStereotactic radiosurgery for brain metastases.
Worldwide, approximately 100,000 patients have undergone stereotactic radiosurgery for a variety of intracranial lesions, of which brain metastases represent the most common treatment indication. This article summarizes the major issues surrounding the management of brain metastases, and also analyzes 21 independent reports of Gamma Knife- or linear accelerator-based radiosurgery, representing ...
متن کاملSingle Fraction versus Multiple Fraction Radiotherapy for treatment of painful bone metastases: A Prospective Study; Mansoura experience
Metastatic bone disease is a commonly encountered problem in oncology practice. Many patients with cancer, though heavily treated, ultimately metastasise. One of the important sites of metastasis is bone. Bone metastases can cause severe and debilitating effects, including pain, pathological fracture, hypercalcaemia and spinal cord compression. [1] Palliative external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) i...
