    COMBINED LOCAL TREATMENT OF BRAIN METASTASES: SURGERY AND POSTOPERATIVE STEREOTACTIC RADIOTHERAPY

  • Original language description

    INTRODUCTION: Modern comprehensive local treatment of BM provides the possibility of adequate local control while maintaining a satisfactory quality of life. METHODS: Patients after metastasectomy and postoperative radiotherapy treated between 2007-2020 were evaluated. Local control was assessed separately at the site of the operated MM (localPFS) and separately in other parts of the brain (distalPFS). RESULTS: A total of 118 patients were enrolled (70 with WBRT), 54% were women, the median age was 60 years, the median performance status Karnofsky 80%. The most common primary tumor was lung carcinoma (39/118, 33%). Targeted stereotactic radiotherapy was significantly more often indicated in operations performed after 2016 (p &lt; 0.001). In the period 2013-2019, gross total resection was achieved significantly more often (83 vs 64%; p = 0.061). The median follow-up is 49 months. The median overall survival (OS) is 9 months (6.2 - 12), the median localPFS 22 months (14 - unattainable), median distPFS 11 months (6.8 - 27 months), median extracranialPFS 11 months (5.9 - 15). Stratification of patients according to the prognostic index brainmetgpa.com led to significant separation of patients for OS (p = 0.00017). In a multivariate analysis, stereotactic radiotherapy was statistically significant positive prognostic factor for OS compared to WBRT (median OS 17 vs. 5.6 months, HR 0.59, p = 0.018) with no effect on localPFS. CONCLUSION: Our results of comprehensive local treatment of BM are comparable with the results presented by important foreign studies from prestigious oncology centers. We described targeted stereotactic postoperative radiotherapy as an independent positive prognostic factor after brain metastasectomy.
