TREATMENT OUTCOME OF GAMMA KNIFE RADIOSURGERY COMBINED WITH PACLITAXEL-CARBOPLATIN IN BRAIN METASTATIC NON-SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER
Main Article Content
Abstract
Purpose: This study aims to describe some clinical and subclinical characteristic of brain metastatic non-small cell lung cancer in National cancer hospital between 2020 and 2023, and to evaluate the treatment outcomes of the Paclitaxel-Carboplatin regimen combined with Gamma Knife radiosurgery in this population. Methods: A retrospective study on 66 patients diagnosed with brain metastatic non-small cell lung cancer, who treated with Paclitaxel-Carboplatin and gamma knife radiosurgery in National cancer hospital from 2020 to 2023. Results: The mean age was 59,1 ± 8,4 years old, males accounted for 80,3%. Clinical characteristic: intracranialhypertension (71,2%), dry cough (63,6%), no neurological symptom (18,1%). MRI features: tumor located in hemispheres (81,8%), three tumors (43,9%), above 10mm in diameter of brain metastases (80,3%). The overall response rate (ORR) was 31,8%, the objective cerebral response rate was 72,9%. The disease control rate (DCR) of cerebral lesions was 92,4%. The median progression free survival (PFS) was 7,6 months. The median progression free survival of brain metastases was 10,1 months. Conclusion: Gamma knife radiosurgery combined with Paclitaxel and Carboplatin is effective in treating brain metastases of small cell lung cancer
