Abstract：
BACKGROUND/AIM:To develop a tool for estimating the risk of developing new cerebral lesions in 69 melanoma patients receiving radiosurgery for 1-3 cerebral metastases. PATIENTS AND METHODS:Ten factors were investigated: lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), radiosurgery dose, age, gender, performance status, maximum diameter, location and number of cerebral lesions, extra-cranial spread, time between melanoma diagnosis and radiosurgery. Two factors, number of lesions and extra-cranial spread, were included in the tool. Scoring points were achieved by dividing the 6-month rate of freedom from new cerebral lesions by 10. RESULTS:Sum scores were 9, 11, 12 or 14 points. Six-month rates of freedom from new brain metastases were 28%, 63%, 59% and 92% (p=0.002). Three prognostic groups were designed: A (9 points), B (11-12 points) and C (14 points). Freedom from new cerebral lesion rates were 28%, 60% and 92% (p<0.001). CONCLUSION:Group A and B patients should be considered for additional whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT).
