Changes in the characteristics of patients treated for brain metastases with repeat stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT): a retrospective study of 184 patients.

Radiation oncology (London, England)·2023

Brain metastases significantly impact survival, with whole-brain irradiation as the current standard treatment. Newer therapies and their effects on neurocognitive function require further investigation.

Area of Science:

  • Neuro-oncology
  • Radiation Oncology
  • Medical Oncology

Context:

  • Brain metastases represent a significant cause of mortality and morbidity in cancer patients.
  • The prognosis for patients with brain metastases is generally poor, with limited median survival.
  • Current standard treatment involves whole-brain irradiation, but its role is being re-evaluated.

Purpose:

  • To review the current standard treatment for brain metastases.
  • To discuss the potential impact of newer treatment modalities, including radiosurgery and novel chemotherapies.
  • To highlight the insufficient understanding of post-irradiation neurocognitive status.

Summary:

  • Whole-brain irradiation is the established treatment for brain metastases, offering a median survival of less than one year.

  • Emerging treatment options such as radiosurgery and advanced chemotherapies warrant consideration.
  • The long-term neurocognitive effects following radiation therapy for brain metastases are not well-characterized.

    • Impact:

    • This review underscores the need for further research into advanced treatment strategies for brain metastases.
    • It highlights the critical gap in knowledge regarding the neurocognitive outcomes of patients treated for brain metastases.
    • Findings may influence clinical practice by encouraging exploration of alternative therapies and improved patient monitoring for cognitive deficits.
