The Management of Brain Metastases in Patients with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer-is it Time to go Back to the Drawing Board?
چکیده انگلیسی
Unless confirmation of a solitary brain metastasis is made in the context of absent extracranial disease and good performance status, patients with metastatic brain disease from non-small cell lung cancer fare badly. There are no level I recommendations for the management of those with multiple brain metastases. The role of whole brain radiotherapy is not certain in those of poorer performance status. This overview assesses what we know and what we are uncertain of in the context of a changing paradigm for some subsets of patients who may obtain superior palliation with treatments targeted at the histological or molecular level. Once the standard treatment is established (steroids plus or minus whole brain radiotherapy), those who are of better performance status may be considered for comparison of this standard with or without systemic management.
