However, this situation creates conflict for radiation oncologists who believe that there are enough high level of evidence for the effectiveness of whole-brain radiation therapy in the treatment of brain metastases. 展开 关键词: Brain metastases Whole-brain radiation therapy Stereotactic radiosurgery ...
Acceptable Safety of Bevacizumab Therapy in Patients with Brain Metastases as a Result of Non—Small-Cell Lung Cancer BackgroundBevacizumab with carboplatin/paclitaxel received FDA approval in October 2006, for improving survival in the first-line treatment of patients wit...

The management of brain metastases (BM), the major cause of cancer morbidity and mortality, is becoming an emerging area of interest. Surgery, whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT), or stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), have historically been the main focal treatments for BM. However, the introducti...
Abstract Radiation necrosis of the brain is a well documented adverse effect of radiation therapy. The authors report an unusual case of relapsing multifocal radiation necrosis following whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT) for brain metastases from a systemic germ cell tumor. Anticoagulation with warfar...
Lung cancer often metastasizes to the brain. Historically, brain metastases have been treated with whole-brain radiation therapy. However, whole-brain radiation is associated with cognitive side-effects and studies of non-small cell lung cancer patients have shown that a more targeted form of radiat...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Whether chemotherapy for systemic disease affects survival of patients with brain metastases or not has not been elucidated before. We performed comprehensive analysis of patients with newly-diagnosed brain metastases primarily treated with whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT) alone...
Single-fraction stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is an established standard for radiation therapy of brain metastases although recent developments indicate that multi-fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (FSRT) results in lower radiation necrosis especially for larger metastases, and the same or even better ...
