Stereotactic radiosurgery for multiple brain metastases from breast carcinoma.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:The current study analyzed the feasibility and outcome of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for treatment of brain metastases from breast carcinoma. METHODS:During an 8-year period, 151 patients with a combined total of 620 brain metastases from breast carcinoma underwent 197 outpatient SRS procedures. Sixty-three percent of all patients had multiple brain metastases. The median tumor volume was 2.2 cm(3) (range, 0.1-20.9 cm(3)). The mean prescribed tumor dose was 19 +/- 4 grays. Local/distant tumor recurrences were treated with additional radiosurgical therapy for patients with stable systemic disease. All patients were categorized according to the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group classification. Survival time and freedom from local tumor recurrence were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Prognostic factors were identified using the Cox proportional hazards model. RESULTS:The overall median survival duration was 10 months after SRS. Ninety-four percent of patients did not experience local brain tumor recurrence after radiosurgery. In addition, 70.2% of patients did not have disease recurrence in the brain. Most patients died of systemically progressing malignancy. A Karnofsky performance score > 70 and recursive partitioning analysis Class I were related to prolonged survival in the univariate and multivariate analyses. Age, whole-brain radiotherapy, surgery, number of metastases, chemotherapy, and latency period from diagnosis of the primary tumor to the development of brain metastases did not reach prognostic relevance in the multivariate model. Patients with RPA I, II, and III survived 34.9, 9.1, and 7.9 months, respectively. There was no treatment related permanent morbidity and mortality. The transient morbidity rate was 17%. Sixteen patients exhibited symptomatic transient complications related to treatment. CONCLUSIONS:The results of the current study indicate that SRS is a feasible treatment concept for selected patients with multiple brain metastases from breast carcinoma.
