Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the effect of X-ray stereotactic radiotherapy(SRT)with two different methods in curing brain metastases.Methods 41 patients with brain metastases were treated by SRT,including 24 cases by SRT and 17 cases by SRT combined whole brain irradiation.78 lesions in 41 patients fall into two groups:small tumor(3 cm).All patients were followed for 2～19 months after treatment by CT scan.The effect,recurrent and complication were discussed.Results Following SRT,the effect rate was 92.9% in SRT group and 93.7% in SRT combined whole brain irradiation group.The effect rate was 97.4% for small lesions while 90% large lesions.The recurrent rate was much higher in SRT(17%) than that in SRT combined whole brain irradiation group(5.9%),the difference was statistically significant(?
