Results and prognostic factors of surgery in the management of non‐small cell lung cancer with solitary brain metastasisCancer, 70
Background: Brain metastases occur in 30-50% of Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients and confer a worse prognosis and quality of life. These patients are usually treated with Whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT) followed by systemic therapy. Few studies have evaluated the role of chemoradiotherapy to the primary tumor after WBRT as definitive treatment in the management of these patients. Methods: We reviewed the outcome of 30 patients with primary NSCLC and brain metastasis at diagnosis without evidence of other metastatic sites. Patients were treated with WBRT and after induction chemotherapy with paclitaxel and cisplatin for two cycles. In the absence of progression, concurrent chemoradiotherapy for the primary tumor with weekly paclitaxel and carboplatin was indicated, with a total effective dose of 60 Gy. If disease progression was ruled out, four chemotherapy cycles followed. Results: Median Progression-free survival (PFS) and Overall survival (OS) were 8.43 ± 1.5 and 31.8 ± 15.8 months, respectively. PFS was 39.5% at 1 year and 24.7% at 2 years. The 1- and 2-year OS rates were 71.1 and 60.2%, respectively. Three-year OS was significantly superior for patients with N0-N1 stage disease vs. N2-N3 (60 vs. 24%, respectively; Response rate [RR], 0.03; p= 0.038). Conclusions: Patients with NSCLC and brain metastasis might benefit from treatment with WBRT and concurrent thoracic chemoradiotherapy. The subgroup of N0-N1 patients appears to achieve the greatest benefit. The result of this study warrants a prospective trial to confirm the benefit of this treatment.

To our knowledge, five different studies have reported their results in patients with NSCLC with synchronous brain metastatic disease treated with radiotherapy [13,16-18,26] and/or chemoradiotherapy [17,18] to the primary tumor, but the majority of these studies also included patients treated with other modalities, such as surgical resection of the thoracic lesion [13,16,18] or solely chemotherapy [17]. Brain management differed significantly among these series, and included surgical resection of brain metastases, WBRT, stereotactic sur- gery, or a combination of the former. Median OS times varied between 5.2 and 18 months, with 1- and 2-year survival rates that ranged between 22-71.3% and 10- Figure 2 Overall survival (OS) for patients with NSCLC treated 34.1%, respectively.
