Is Re-Irradiation of Recurrent Metastatic Brain Tumors an Option? Re-Irradiation for Metastatic Brain Tumors With Whole-Brain Radiotherapy
Background: Relapse after whole-brain radiation therapy (WBRT) for multiple cerebral metastases occurs fairly often and is associated with a poor prognosis. Re-irradiation is an option that many defer because of risks of exceeding brain tolerance and resulting toxicity. Objective: To determine if brain re-irradiation is beneficial. Design: Single-institution retrospective study. Methods: Patien...
متن کاملRe-irradiation for metastatic brain tumors with whole-brain radiotherapy.
OBJECTIVE To determine whether second whole-brain irradiation is beneficial for patients previously treated with whole-brain irradiation. METHODS A retrospective analysis was done for 31 patients with brain metastases who had undergone re-irradiation. Initial whole-brain irradiation was performed with 30 Gy/10 fractions for 87% of these patients. Whole-brain re-irradiation was performed with ...
متن کاملReoperation for recurrent metastatic brain tumors.
Results of reoperation in 48 patients who developed recurrent brain metastases between January 1984 and April 1993 are presented. Median time from first craniotomy to diagnosis of recurrence (time to recurrence) was 6.7 months. Median Karnofsky performance scale (KPS) score prior to reoperation was 80. Recurrence was local in 30 patients, distant in 16 patients, and both local and distant in tw...
متن کاملIntegrating fMRI data into 3D conventional radiotherapy treatmentplanning of brain tumors
Introduction: This study was aimed to investigate the beneficial effects of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data in treatment planning for patients with CNS tumors in order to decrease the injury of functional regions of the brain followed by increase in life quality and survival of patients. This study pursues a novel approach in planning for the treatment of brai...
متن کاملRe-irradiation for Recurrent Primary Brain Tumors.
BACKGROUND Historically, radiation oncologists have been cautious about re-irradiating brain tumors because of concerns about the risks of late central nervous system (CNS) toxicity, especially radionecrosis, that may occur several months to years following treatment. Today there are still limited prospective data addressing this approach. MATERIALS AND METHODS Systematic review of published ...
