The Effects of Different Methods in The Treatment of Brain Metastasis

Objective The effects of treat the brain metastasis with radiotherapy along(R),radiotherapy plus chemotherapy (R+C) and stereotactic radiosurgery plus radiotherapy (SRS+R)were analysed retrospectively. Methods From May 1993 to June 1998,61 cases of brain metastasis were studied in 3 groups. Results The 6-,12-,>12-month survival rate and local control rate in group R as 54.1%,16.3%,2.7% and 16.2%,in group R+C as 75.0%,33.3%,25.0% and 41.6%,in gruop SRS+R as 83.3%,58.3%,41.6% and 91.6%. Conclusion SRS+R is superior than R+C and R in the prolong survile period and local control in treat the brain metastase.
