The role of adjuvant radiation and multiple resection within the surgical management of brain metastases
Tóm tắt
Cerebral metastases occur in 25% to 35% of all cancer patients. The advances in systemic and topical treatment as well as the rising incidence of lung cancer and melanomas are associated with an increasing incidence of cerebral metastases. More than 20,000 patients die every year in the Federal Republic of Germany of this disease. This retrospective analysis covers 145 patients who underwent surgery. Survival analysis of different subgroups was performed. The patients were grouped according to their clinical status and the different therapeutical procedures which were performed. Group A, consisting of all those patients where a gross total resection could be performed and where no systemic disease was apparent at the time of craniotomy showed the best results, having the highest portion of long term survivors. Group B, consisting of those patients who underwent a subtotal resection and who had no systemic disease at the time of craniotomy, had a worse outcome. Group C patients (gross total resection and systemic disease) as well as Group D (subtotal resection and systemic disease) presented the poorest results with respect to survival. A benefit was mediated by adjuvant radiation as well as multiple resections. Surgery is the method of choice for the treatment of a single metastasis. Advances in microsurgery nowadays sometimes justify even the removal of multiple metastases, depending on their location, on the general condition of the patient and on prognosis.
