Abstract

Our study aims to evaluate the quality of life of patients with brain metastatic lung cancer who are treated with gamma Knife radiosurgery and describe some related factors. Methods: Studing on 92 patients with brain metastatic lung cancer from July 2020 to May 2021. The patient was treated with radiosurgery using the Icon generation Gamma knife. Patients were assessed for quality of life before and after 1 month of treatment using the toolkit of the European Organization for research and treatment of Cancer EORTC- C30 and EORTC – BN20. Result: Before treatment, quality of life was affected in all aspects, cognitive, ability, fatigue, pain sensation, insomnia, shortness of breath, digestive, disorders. After 1 month of treatement, quality of life improved significantly (P<0,05). Pain severity and the Karnofski index were significantly associated with all function of quality of life. Conclusion: the patients quality of life improved significantly (p<0,05) after Gamma Knife radiosurgery.
