METASTASES-01 OUTCOME OF BRAIN METASTASES TREATED WITH GAMMA KNIFE STEREOTACTIC RADIOSURGERY (GKSR): COHORT RETROSPECTIVE STUDY ON 205 CASES

Abstract

Abstract BACKGROUND Brain metastases (BMs) are the most common expansive intracranial lesions in adults. Approximately 50% of patients diagnosed with new brain metastases have more than one brain metastasis at the time of diagnosis. OBJECTIVE We report our experience of brain metastases treated with GKSR and evaluate the outcome. METHODS Patients treated by Gamma Knife stereotactic radiosurgery (GKSR) in our institution between 2008 and 2021 for BM were recorded retrospectively. RESULTS A total of 205 patients (56.6% females) were included, with a median age of 59 (25-83) years old. Breast (n=85, 42.5%) and lung (n=76, 38%) were the common original locations for the primary tumors (Table 1). There were 103 patients (50.3%) with single BM and 102 patients (49.7%) with multiple BM⩾2. The median number of multiple BM treated was 4 (2-43). The overall mean survival time was 6.00(95% CI, 5.07-6.93) months for all BM. The median percentage of tumor control after radiosurgery treatment was 65% (20-99) over the median follow-up time of 6.00(3-84) months. In the overall population, the 1-year OS rate was 37.55%, the 2-year OS rate was 25.12%, and the 5-year OS was 18.51%. The mean survival time among patients with BM was higher in those with multiple BM than those with single BM ([10 (95%CI 6.67-13.33) months vs 5(4.21-5.70) months, P (0.03)]). Retreatment, tumor stability (control), and progression influence the overall survival of BM, whether single or multiple (P<0.001). CONCLUSION Stereotaxic Radiosurgery provides good results in terms of Overall survival and better Quality of Life for BM, whether single or multiple. Stability and retreatment influenced the overall survival of BM.
