摘要
Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKRS; Elekta AB, Stockholm, Sweden) has emerged as an important treatment option for metastatic brain tumors (MBT). However, the long term outcome of GKRS on MBT is not well understpod. We reviewed the treatment of MBT with GKRS at our institution. We performed a retrospective review (2000-2013) of 298 patients with MBT who received GKRS. The study population was monitored clinically and radiographically after GKRS treatment. Survival benefits and predictive factors of the outcome were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier test and Cox regression model, respectively. GKRS in MBT showed significant variation in tumor growth control (decreased in 135 [45%] patients, arrested growth in 91 [37%] patients and increased tumor size in 72 [24%] patients). The median survival in the study population was 17 months. Overall and progression free survival after 3 years were 25% and 45%, respectively. The predictive factors for improving survival in the patients with MBT were recursive partitioning analysis class I (p < 0.0001), absence of hydrocephalus (p < 0.0001), Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) >80 (p = 0.007) and absence of recurrent MBT (p = 0.01). Forty (12%), 15 (4.3%) and two (0.6%) patients required GKRS, resection and whole brain radiation, respectively, after initial GKRS due to tumor progression and worsening of signs and symptoms. Our findings revealed that GKRS offers a high rate of tumor control and good survival benefits in both new and recurrent patients with MBT. Thus, GKRS is an effective treatment option for new patients with MBT, as well as an adjuvant therapy in patients with recurrent MBT. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
