RESUMO
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: To evaluate modern clinical outcomes for patients with brain-only metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with intracranial stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) with or without definitive treatment of the primary site. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients with synchronously diagnosed NSCLC and brain-only metastatic disease treated with intracranial SRS at a single institution were retrospectively identified. Patients were stratified based on whether they did (A) or did not (B) receive definitive primary site treatment. Patient characteristics and clinical outcomes were compared. RESULTS: From 2008 to 2022, 103 patients were identified, 53 of whom received definitive primary site treatment. Median follow-up was 2.1 y (A) and 0.8 y (B) (p < 0.001). 28 (53 %) patients in Group A received immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy versus 19 (38 %) in Group B (p = 0.13) and there were no other statistically significant baseline or treatment characteristic differences between the groups. 5-year local-PFS was 34.5 % (A) versus 0 % (B) (p < 0.001). 5-year regional-PFS was 33.0 % (A) versus 0 % (B) (p < 0.001). 5-year distant body-PFS was 34.0 % (A) versus 0 % (B) (p < 0.001). 5-year CNS-PFS was 14.7 % (A) versus 0 % (B) (p = 0.12). 5-year OS was 40.2 % (A) versus 0 % (B) (p = 0.001). 5-year CSS was 67.6 % (A) versus 0 % (B) (p = 0.002). On multivariable analysis, lack of definitive treatment to the primary site (HR = 2.40), AJCC T3-4 disease (HR = 2.73), and lack of ICI therapy (HR = 2.86) were significant predictors of death. CONCLUSION: Definitive treatment to the thoracic primary site in patients with brain-only metastatic NSCLC after intracranial radiosurgery was associated with slower progression of disease and improved survival.

We present three patients with brain metastasis cases from ovarian carcinoma (BMOC) treated at William Beaumont Hospital with a median follwow-up of 77 months and a mean survival after brain involvement of 23.66 months (range 5-44). Clinical and physical aspects are presented. Between December 2006 and August 2008, three cases of BMOC were treated using Gamma Knife (GK) radiosurgery. All patients had FIGO Stage III primary disease at initial diagnosis. Treatment sequences and features are described. GK achieves excellent local control of BMOC. Other parameters could be considered as biologically effective.

AIMS: To evaluate outcomes after treatment with image-guided stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) using daily online cone beam computed tomography for malignancies metastatic to the lung. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Forty-seven lung metastases in 32 patients were treated with volumetrically guided SBRT. The median age was 62 years (21-87). Primaries included colorectal (n = 10), sarcoma (n = 4), head and neck (n = 4), melanoma (n = 3), bladder (n = 2), non-small cell lung cancer (n = 2), renal cell (n = 2), thymoma (n = 2), thyroid (n = 1), endometrial (n = 1) and oesophageal (n = 1). The number of lung metastases per patient ranged from one to three (68% single lesions). SBRT was prescribed to the edge of the target volume to a median dose of 60 Gy (48-65 Gy) in a median of four fractions (four to 10). Most lesions were treated using 12 Gy fractions (92%) to 48 or 60 Gy. RESULTS: The median follow-up was 27.6 months (7.6-57.1 months). The 1, 2 and 3 year actuarial local control rates for all treated lesions were 97, 92 and 85%, respectively. Two patients with colorectal primaries (four lesions in total) had local failure. The median overall survival was 40 months. The 1, 2 and 3 year overall survival from the time of SBRT completion was 83, 76 and 63%, respectively. There were no grade 4 or 5 toxicities. Grade 3 toxicities (one instance of each) included pneumonitis, dyspnoea, cough, rib fracture and pain. CONCLUSION: SBRT with daily online cone beam computed tomography for lung metastases achieved excellent local tumour control with low toxicity and encouraging 2 and 3 year survival.
