30 cases of metastatic brain cancer analysis of whole-brain radiotherapy.docVIP

 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 8 30 cases of metastatic brain cancer analysis of whole-brain radiotherapy [Abstract] Objective To analyze the hospital clinical manifestations of brain metastases, treatment course and radiotherapy. Way our department from January 2005 to June 2009 were treated between 30 patients with brain metastases, whole brain radiation therapy methods are used DT40Gy, 2.0Gy / second, 4 weeks to complete. Results of which CR (complete remission) 5 cases, accounting for 16.6%, PR (partial remission) in 16 cases, accounting for 55%, NC (stability) in 6 cases, accounting for 20%. PD (worsening) in 3 cases, accounting for 10% of the total effective rate (CR PR) 70%. After whole brain irradiation performance and nervous system symptoms and signs improved in 21 cases, the median survival period of 6 months. Review CY showed lesions disappeared and were reduced in 5 cases, 16 cases. 7 patients died of brain disease progress, 23 cases of disease due to other parts of the progress or lesions associated with extensive systemic failure. Conclusion OK whole brain radiotherapy of brain metastases, to reduce patient suffering, improve the quality of life and prolong survival time is significant, whole brain radiotherapy is the treatment of brain metastases effective manner. [Keywords:] Brain whole brain radiotherapy for metastatic carcinoma Brain metastasis is a common intracranial tumor, one brain tumor patients account for about 20% to 40% [1]. Extensive application of combined treatment so that patients, local control rate, survival prolonged, the incidence of brain metastasis has increased. Brain metastases, the median survival time for normal at the end of treatment the patient is 1 month; corticosteroid therapy alone is 2 months; received radiotherapy was 5 ~ 6 months; comprehensive treatment is expected to reach more than 6 months. With the whole-brain irradiation technology, widely used, so that patients with brain metastases, prolonged survival and qual
