      Background

      Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of death all over the world and the prevalence is still growing. About half of the patients are diagnosed with stage IV disease at presentation with the most common sites of distal metastasis including the brain, liver, adrenal glands, and bones. Brain metastases remain a significant problem in patients with lung cancer. Surgical resection of metastasis limited to brain had been recommended by guidelines. However, few patients received metastasectomy of brain metastasis and the benefit of such intervention is unclear. So, we reviewed such patients of a medical center to see if those patients achieved long term survival after operation.

      All patients of non-small cell lung cancer with brain metastasis diagnosed in 2011/1/1 to 2017/12/31 from a medical center were reviewed. The characteristics of the patients, local control rate, survival time after diagnosis of brain metastasis, EGFR status and surgical complications were recorded. The survival rate was calculated using Kaplan-Meier model.

      We identified 276 patients diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer with brain metastasis. Of these, 24 patients received metastasectomy of brain lesions. 22 of the 24 patients had distal metastasis limited to brain. 2 patients were excluded due to loss of follow up within one month after surgery. 20 patients were included in the analysis, of which 19 were adenocarcinoma, 1 was sarcomatoid carcinoma.16 of them had solitary brain metastasis, 2 with 2 lesions and 2 with 4 lesions. The average size of brain mass was 3.67cm (range 0.5cm to 7.4cm, standard deviation 1.78cm). To the date of our data collection (2018/4/30), 8 of them were dead, 4 were censored and 8 were still alive with regular follow up. The median survival after diagnosis of brain metastasis was 40.3 months. The 3 year and 5 year survival rate were 72% and 24% respectively. Recurrence of brain metastasis was documented in 2 patients only. One patient died 26 days after operation due to intracranial hemorrhage. No cognitive function impairment or wound infection leading to prolonged hospitalization was recorded after operation

      For non-small cell lung cancer patient with isolated brain metastasis, surgical resection of brain metastasis is likely to lead to long term survival with acceptable risk. Randomized case control study is needed to determine the best treatment strategy for this group of patients.
