Consequently, the machine has to “travel” between approximately 30 non-coplanar beams on their test plans. Conformity of LINAC-based stereotactic Radiosurgery using dynamic conformal arcs and micro-multileaf collimator. Surgery is one of the relevant treatment options. PubMed However, particularly for large tumors, delivering a higher prescription dose can result in brain tissue receiving higher doses. Sie hat eine Reduktion der Toxizität im Fokus. Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys. Median survival was 16 months. The mean value (±SD) of D0.1cc for brainstem was 3.36 (± 5.78) Gy and 3.34 (± 5.34) Gy for C-VMAT and HA-VMAT, respectively (p = 0.92).

Impact of plan parameters on the dosimetric accuracy of volumetric modulated arc therapy impact of plan parameters on the dosimetric accuracy of volumetric. Fourth, a comparison of treatment time is not investigated in this study although treatment time is important for the clinical practice. Schneider T, Kuhne J, Bittrich P et al. Krebspatienten mit reseziertem Primärtumor und Hirnmetastasen profitieren von einer Immuntherapie zusätzlich zu einer Strahlen- oder Radiochemotherapie.

Als Hirnmetastase wird eine Absiedlung von Krebszellen in das Hirngewebe bezeichnet, die von bösartigen Tumoren außerhalb des Gehirns ausgeht. Boda-Heggemann J, Walter C, Rahn A, Wertz H, Loeb I, Lohr F, et al. Thus, careful dosimetric validation is imperative before introducing the HA-VMAT plan into clinical practice. In general, it was observed that the histology of the primary tumor for tumor control and response after radiosurgery has no statistical significance (Grosu et al. Ohira, S., Ueda, Y., Akino, Y. et al. Generally considered the best imaging tool for metastases. For other intracranial metastatic locations, please refer to the main article on intracranial metastases. The role of WBRT as adjunctive therapy after or before radiosurgery is controversially discussed in the literature. Similarly, although cerebral metastases are often thought of as being multiple, ~50% are seemingly solitary at diagnosis and in a minority of cases, no known or identifiable malignancy is present even after examination of the body with other modalities 4,13,14. The patient details are listed in Table 1. CAS Other prognostic factors such as patient age, tumor location, type of primary tumor and the latency period between diagnosis of the primary tumors and occurrence of cerebral metastasis play a minor role (Muacevic et al. In addition, the number of MU used in each treatment plan was calculated as follows: MU = (total number of MU for patient)/(number of isocenters). Med Phys. The homogeneity index (HI) was defined as follows: HI = Dmax/Dprescribed, where Dmax and Dprescribed denote the maximum and prescribed doses, respectively [10]. 6. Die Magnetresonanztomografie (MRT) des Kopfes wird standardmäßig durchgeführt um Tochtergeschwülsten im Geh irn (Hirnmetastasen) aus zuschließen. In the HA-VMAT planning, the isocenter was positioned automatically based on the selected single and multiple target structures while that was determined manually in the C-VMAT planning. In case multiple targets are located far from each other (more than 5 cm), the isocenters were positioned in the center of each target, and a treatment plan was generated for each isocenter (multiple-isocentric C-VMAT cases, patient #16–23). AJR Am J Roentgenol. . Meanwhile, for hypo-fractionated radiotherapy such as SRS and SBRT, radiation oncologists sometimes allow the higher HI plans in case the maximum dose is located in the GTV. 4π noncoplanar stereotactic body radiation therapy for head-and-neck cancer: potential to improve tumor control and late toxicity. Provided by the Springer Nature SharedIt content-sharing initiative, Over 10 million scientific documents at your fingertips, Not logged in Es ist davon auszugehen, dass zirka 30% alle Krebspatieten irgendwann Hirnmetastasen haben. About two-thirds of intracranial metastases are supratentorial. Brain metastases with a maximum diameter less than 3 cm are an ideal target for the CyberKnife or ZAP therapy. Bisweilen kommt es zur Ausbildung eines akuten organischen Psychosyndroms mit paranoiden oder aggressiven Zügen. This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution. 13. CAS Bei 20% der Patienten mit Hirnmetastasen treten epileptische Anfälle auf. Barnholtz-Sloan JS, Sloan AE, Davis FG et-al. The HyperArc VMAT (HA-VMAT) planning approach was newly developed to fulfill the demands of dose delivery for brain metastases stereotactic radiosurgery. Cystic degeneration and necrosis are rarely seen in these tumors 3,4. We utilized the virtual dry run function to eliminate the arc field among the four arcs that exhibits a potential collision between the gantry and couch when the patient is treated.

Das Gehirn ist eine bevorzugte Lokalisation von Metastasen der häufig vorkommenden Krebskrankheiten, wie Bronchial- und Mammakarzinomen. The absolute volume of the brain tissue receiving a specific dose is listed in Table 3 for both treatment approaches. Careers. For 23 patients (1–4 brain metastases), C-VMAT and HA-VMAT plans with a prescription dose of 20–24 Gy were retrospectively generated, and dosimetric parameters for PTV (homogeneity index, HI; conformity index, CI; gradient index, GI) and brain tissue (V2Gy-V16Gy) were evaluated. Brain metastases | Radiology Reference Article | Radiopaedia.org Brain metastases are estimated to account for approximately 25-50% of intracranial tumors in hospitalized patients.

These patients can commonly present with headaches, seizures, mental status alterations, ataxia, nausea and vomiting, and visual disturbances. In addition, the HA-VMAT plans generate a significant rapid dose falloff (GI) when compared with that of the C-VMAT plans (3.91 ± 0.55 (C-VMAT) vs. 3.06 ± 0.42 (HA-VMAT), p < 0.01). Monday – Friday: 7.30 – 20.00 pm Für viele Betroffene ist die Prognose daher nicht gut. On the other hand, the HA-VMAT plan resulted in a higher absolute volume of 16.8 cc when receiving a very low dose (V2Gy). 1997;37:375–83. Purandare NC. In approximately 20% of patients, the brain lesions are the only manifestation of metastatic tumor, while at 80% extracerebral metastases were diagnosed.

Historically, linear-accelerator-based SRS has been performed using the dynamic conformal arc radiotherapy technique with isocentric irradiation [7, 13]. Incidence proportions of brain metastases in patients diagnosed (1973 to 2001) in the Metropolitan Detroit Cancer Surveillance System. Von diesem ursprünglichen Tumor können Krebszellen über Blut- oder Lymphbahnen abwandern, sich in einem weiteren Organ vermehren und eine Metastase (Tochtergeschwulst) bilden. The C-VMAT plan design was summarized in Table 2. Die Teilhirnbestrahlung wird, wenn möglich, einer Ganzhirnbestrahlung vorgezogen. Chemotherapy regimens have been used successfully for brain metastases of systemically untreated patients with small cell lung cancer (Kristensen et al., 1992), breast cancer (Boogerd et al. 316 (4): 401-9. The authors would like to acknowledge Varian Medical Systems for providing the prototype version of the Eclipse system and technical support. Hirnmetastasen sind die häufigsten . Beresford HR. Most larger metastases are surrounded by vasogenic edema due to poorly formed new blood vessels that mimic the microcirculation of the primary tumor and in some instances, the degree of edema can be striking. 11.

The prescription dose (20–24 Gy), photon beam energy (filter free beams with 6-MV), optimization resolution (1.25-mm), dose calculation algorithm (AAA) and grid size (1.25-mm) were same as the corresponding ones in the C-VMAT planning. Multidisciplinary management of brain metastases. Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys. In emergency situations, steroids provide effective support and a neurosurgical intervention may be life-saving. As regards radiotherapy for brain metastasis, a European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer 22,952–26,001 study has suggested that stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), which delivers a high dose of radiation in a single fraction, is not inferior to surgical resection as regards local control rates [2]. 1998 Jan-Feb;14(1):70-8. doi: 10.1002/(sici)1098-2388(199801/02)14:1<70::aid-ssu9>3.0.co;2-#.
