      Background

      Approximately 10% of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients have brain metastases at presentation. The use of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) has enabled a proportion of patients with oligometastatic brain disease to be offered a radical treatment in conjunction with SRS. We evaluated the outcomes for patients presenting with synchronous brain metastases who received SRS to determine if radical treatment improves survival.

      Method

      164 patients with NSCLC received SRS for brain metastases between January 2012 and December 2017. This analysis focused on 71 patients who presented synchronously with brain metastases. Electronic patient records were accessed in March 2019 to determine initial extracranial disease treatment and date of death or last follow up.

      Result

      30 patients received radical treatment (18 radiotherapy alone, 11 chemo-radiotherapy and one surgery) and 24 received palliative treatment (17 chemotherapy, four radiotherapy and three tyrosine kinase inhibitor). 17 patients received no treatment following SRS, either due to death, deterioration in performance status or patient choice. Baseline demographics are presented in table 1.

      Median overall survival for the radical, palliative and no treatment groups were; 7.9 (95% CI 5.5-14.0), 9.4 (6.6-14.4) and 1.4 (1.0-2.9) months, respectively. There was no significant difference in survival between the radical and palliative groups (p=0.43). Kaplan-Meier survival estimates at 12 and 24 months were 30.0% (95% CI 17.4- 51.8%) and 10.0% (3.4-29.3%) for the radical and 33.3% (18.9- 58.7%) and 13.0% (4.1-41.4%) in the palliative group, respectively.

      Conclusion

      Our results did not demonstrate the benefit for radical treatment, as expected based on published data. Potential reasons for this result include a lack of tools to select patients for radical treatment. Prospective studies are needed to identify the optimal treatment for extracranial disease in this patient group.
