Hypofractionated stereotactic radiotherapy in combination with whole brain radiotherapy for brain metastases [PDF]

Journal of Neuro-Oncology, 2008
The efficacy and toxicity of hypofractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (HSRT) in combination with whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT), for the treatment of 1-4 brain metastases, using a non invasive fixation of the skull, was investigated.Between 04/2001 and 01/2006 30 patients with 44 brain metastases underwent irradiation.

Whole brain radiotherapy for brain metastasis

Surgical Neurology International, 2013
Whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) is a mainstay of treatment in patients with both identifiable brain metastases and prophylaxis for microscopic disease. The use of WBRT has decreased somewhat in recent years due to both advances in radiation technology, allowing for a more localized delivery of radiation, and growing concerns regarding the late toxicity

Whole-brain radiotherapy in patients with brain metastases from melanoma [PDF]

CNS Oncology, 2014
To describe results of melanoma brain metastases (BM) treated with whole-brain radiation (WBRT).Retrospective review of patients with melanoma BM treated with WBRT divided into two groups based on the timing of WBRT (at BM diagnosis or recurrence).We identified 61 patients with melanoma BM who received WBRT. For the group treated at diagnosis (n = 39):
