Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed at evaluating clinical, subclinical characteristics and resuls of treatment on patients who underwent Gamma Knife radiosurgery concurrent with Pemetrexed and Carboplatin conbination for brain metastases of non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) at K Hospital and the Nuclear Medicine and Oncology Center, Bach Mai Hospital. Patients andMethod: Retrospective combination prospective descriptive cross sectionnal study on 65 NSCLC non squamous cell  with brain metastases were  underwent Gamma Knife radiosurgery concurrent with Pemetrexed and Carboplatin conbination at K Hospital and the Nuclear Medicine and Oncology Center, Bach Mai Hospital from January 2018 to July 2021. Results: The mean age was 58,3 ± 9,2 years old, males accounted for 86,2%. Clinical characteristics: intracranialhypertension (72,3%), dry cough (61,9%), no mental symptoms (18,5%). MRI features: tumors located in hemisphere (66,2%), three tumor (44,6%), above 10mm in diameter of the brain metastases (89,2%). The overall response rate (ORR) was 35,4%, the objective cerebral response rate was 70,7%, the extracerebral response rate was 36,9%. The disease control rate (DCR) of cerebral lesions was 90,7%. The median of progression free survival (PFS) was 10,3 months. The median progression-free survival of brain metastases was 10,8 months.Common toxicity were anemia (49,2%), nausea (40%), vomiting (20%), hepatic insufficiency (12,3%). Conclusions: Gamma Knife radiosurgery concurrent with Pemetrexed and Carboplatin combination is effective in treating brain metastases of non small cell lung cancer with a high safety.
