Survival and prognostic factors in patients undergoing the resection of solitary brain metastasis from non-small cell lung cancer: a retrospective cohort study

Abstract: Background: Neurosurgery is the standard of care for resectable solitary brain metastasis (BM) from nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but still with a poor outcome. Postoperative whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT) was reported to reduce local recurrence, whether it could prolong survival was uncertain. In this study, we attempted to evaluate WBRT and other prognostic for overall survival (OS) in these patients.Methods: In this retrospective study, NSCLC patients with a solitary BM and controlled primary tumor wh… Show more

“…Another possible reason might be that more efforts have been made in recent years aiming to improve the prognosis of brain. 8,[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] In this study, patients with liver metastasis had the poorest prognosis among all single-organ metastasis and were similar to those with MOM. Our results are consistent with the previous studies.…”
