Gliederung

Text

Objective: Treatment options of patients with local recurrence of singular cerebral metastases after previous multimodal treatment are limited. Especially re-irradiation is often not an option due to the previous dose application to the surrounding tissue. Scares reports have demonstrated that stereotactic interstitial radiosurgery (IRS) is an effective and save treatment option to control cerebral metastases. In this study we applied this method to patients with local recurrence after previous treatment and evaluated the feasibility of the method, local disease control and clinical parameters.

Methods: For this retrospective study we selected all patients with local recurrence of a singular brain metastasis who received previous (multimodal) treatment (microsurgery, stereotactic radiosurgery, radiation therapy). Stereotactic interstitial radiosurgery (125iodine, 50 Gy surface dose, for 42 days) was applied to the recurrent metastasis in all cases. Neurological status, KPS, treatment related complications and local response of the metastasis (Macdonald criteria) were evaluated during follow-up.

Results: From 1999-2007 20 patients (13 famle/7male) with stable systemic disease were treated. Previous treatment included radiation therapy (17 patients), LINAC radiosurgery (6 patients) and/or microsurgical extirpation (10 patients). The mean and median follow-up period after IRS was 13.7 and 8.1 month, respectively. The target volume ranged from 2.3 to 22.5 ccm (mean 9.5). No treatment related permanent morbidity or mortality was observed. Neurological status improved in 25% or was unchanged. The KPS remained stable (≥70). Local tumor control was achieved in 90% (18/20 patients); two patients showed progressive local disease and received re-treatment with IRS.

Conclusions: These data demonstrate that stereotactic interstitial radiosurgery (IRS) using 125iodine seeds provides a minimal invasive, save, well tolerated and effective treatment option for patients with local recurrence of a singular brain metastasis when other treatment options are finally utilized.
