Mashup Score: 2Stereotactic Radiosurgery Before Resection of Brain Metastases From Solid Tumors - The ASCO Post - 9 month(s) ago
In a study reported in JAMA Oncology, Prabhu et al identified outcomes and associated risk factors among patients receiving stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) prior to resection of brain metastases from solid tumors. The study involved data from an international multicenter cohort (Preoperative Radiosurgery for Brain Metastases–PROPS-BM). The current study cohort included 404 patients from eight sites in the United States and Australia who were treated between 2005 and 2021, with most being treated since

Mashup Score: 0Comparing Pre-Operative Versus Post-Operative Single and Multi-Fraction Stereotactic Radiotherapy for Patients with Resectable Brain Metastases - 1 year(s) ago
Brain metastases are a cause of substantial morbidity and mortality for cancer patients. Whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT) plus surgery is a historical standard that has been shown to improve overall survival (OS) and local control for patients with brain metastases [1]. Adjuvant WBRT after surgical resection of a brain metastasis, compared to surgery alone, has been shown to reduce the risk…

Mashup Score: 2Local control of brain metastases with osimertinib alone in patients with EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer - Journal of Neuro-Oncology - 2 year(s) ago
Purpose Although osimertinib has excellent intracranial activity in metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with exon 19 deletion or L858R EGFR alterations, measures of local control of brain metastases are less well-reported. We describe lesion-level outcomes of brain metastases treated with osimertinib alone. Methods We retrospectively reviewed patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC with…
