• 1508 consecutive cases
• inclusion criteria:
1) newly diagnosed brain metastases,
2) 1–10 brain lesions,
3) less than 10 cm3 volume of the largest tumor, 4) no more than 15 cm3

17. • all visible lesions were irradiated with GKS without
upfront whole-brain radiation therapy.
• MR imaging was performed every 2–3 months
• Group A, single lesions (565 cases);
• Group B, 2–4 tumors (577 cases);
• Group C, 5–10 tumors (366 cases)

18. Results
Overall survival
• 0.99 years for Group A,
• 0.68 years for Group
• B, and
• 0.62 years for Group C.
CI of 1.265 for the hazard ratio
Show efficacy of GKS as sole treatment for patients
with 5–10 brain metastases compared with those with
2–4 in terms of OS.

19. • retrospective review
• 56 patients
• (Group A) 30 with1or more lesions left unresected
• (Group B) 26 underwent resection of all lesions
• (Group C) 26 single metastasis who underwent resection
19
24. • the only variables significantly affecting survival were
the patient group
presence of systemic disease
Remove all accessible lesions, in limited
systemic disease
24
25. Discussion
• Overall survival with GKS : 8 -12 months
• No of mets does not influence outcome
• Prognostic factors : Age,KPS,controlled
extracranial disease
• Overall survival with surgery : 8 -14 months
25
26. Advocates of GKS
• All lesions can be treated in one session
• No perioperative complications
• Very low incidence of radiation necrosis
• Surgery is shown for upto 3 lesions
Limitation:
• Lesion size
26
27. Conclusion
Retrospective study shows GKS as sole
therapy for multiple brain metastsis is as
effective as surgery and can treat more
lesions at a single session with a lesser
incidence of complications.
Randomized control trials are needed
