TL;DR: These indices and related worksheet provide an accurate and facile diagnosis-specific tool to estimate survival, potentially select appropriate treatment, and stratify clinical trials for patients with brain metastases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diagnosis-Specific Prognostic Factors, Indexes, and Treatment Outcomes for Patients With Newly Diagnosed Brain Metastases: A Multi-Institutional Analysis of 4,259 Patients
Paul W. Sperduto,Samuel T. Chao,Penny K. Sneed,Xianghua Luo,John H. Suh,David Roberge,Amit Bhatt,Ashley W. Jensen,Paul D. Brown,Helen A. Shih,John P. Kirkpatrick,Amanda L. Schwer,Laurie E. Gaspar,John B. Fiveash,Veronica Chiang,Jonathan P.S. Knisely,Christina Maria Sperduto,Minesh P. Mehta +17 more
TL;DR: The prognostic factors for BM patients varied by diagnosis, and two new DS-GPA indexes were designed for breast/gastrointestinal cancer and melanoma/renal cell carcinoma.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multimodality treatment of Merkel cell carcinoma: case series and literature review of 1024 cases.
Heriberto Medina-Franco,Marshall M. Urist,John B. Fiveash,Martin J. Heslin,Kirby I. Bland,Samuel W. Beenken +5 more
TL;DR: Surgery and adjuvant radiotherapy appear to provide optimal local control in Merkel cell carcinoma, an aggressive cancer, with a high tendency for local recurrence and distant spread.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Tumor Subtype on Survival and the Graded Prognostic Assessment for Patients With Breast Cancer and Brain Metastases
Paul W. Sperduto,Norbert Kased,David Roberge,Zhiyuan Xu,Ryan Shanley,Xianghua Luo,Penny K. Sneed,Samuel T. Chao,Robert J. Weil,John H. Suh,Amit Bhatt,Ashley W. Jensen,Paul D. Brown,Helen A. Shih,John P. Kirkpatrick,Laurie E. Gaspar,John B. Fiveash,Veronica Chiang,Jonathan P.S. Knisely,Christina Maria Sperduto,Nan Lin,Minesh P. Mehta +21 more
TL;DR: The Breast-GPA documents wide variation in prognosis and shows clear separation between subgroups of patients with breast cancer and brain metastases and this tool will aid clinical decision making and stratification in clinical trials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Feasibility of single-isocenter volumetric modulated arc radiosurgery for treatment of multiple brain metastases.
TL;DR: The initial results suggest that single-isocenter VMAT plans can be used to deliver conformity equivalent to that of multiple isocenterVMAT techniques, and VMAT radiosurgery for multiple targets using a single isocent can be efficiently delivered, requiring less than one-half the beam time required for multiple isOCenter set ups.
