Dose Escalation with Fractionated Radiosurgery in Oligometastases Brain with Controlled Extracranial Disease: Improved Progression free Survival Outcome
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Traditionally Whole Brain Radiotherapy (WBRT) has been used in unresectable and oligo/multiple metastases, but the outcomes are not very promising. Here we report eighteen month survival with stable intracranial disease in a case of adenocarcinoma of lung with three metastatic brain lesions after being treated with WBRT with Fractionated Stereotactic Radiosurgery (FSR) boost.
