Breast cancer is a major cause of morbidity and cancer related mortality among women. The prevalence of breast cancer was reported as increasing in most of the Asian countries (Aini abdullah et al., 2013;Najafi et al., 2013). Iran is also sharing the same experience. The etiology of breast cancer is largely unknown; therefore there is no established primary prevention strategy. So, the main strategy is the establishment of screening protocols and early detection programs, which at least theoretically can improve the survival rates. Despite the increasing incidence, the survival rates of breast cancer patients in many developed countries were substantially improved. According to national cancer registry project report, breast cancer is the most common cancer and also the most common cause of cancer-related deaths of female population in Iran (Mohagheghi et al., 2009).According to international agency for research on

“…Brain metastasis with unknown primary is seen in 12% cases. 16 The various histopathological types in this study were adenocarcinoma 42%, squamous cell carcinoma 40%, small cell carcinoma 8%, malignant melanoma 4%, large cell anaplastic carcinoma 4% and undifferentiated carcinoma 2%. As in other studies 15,16,17,18 in our study also multiple brain metastasis are more common than solitary brain metastasis.…”

BACKGROUND Brain metastasis are a major cause of mortality and morbidity in cancer patients. Most common primary sites are lung, breast, malignant melanoma and kidney. Whole brain radiation treatment has remained the treatment of choice for brain metastasis. Though it provides early symptomatic relief, survival is limited to 3-6 months. AIM To study the effect of radiation on relief of symptoms and on the survival of patients with brain metastasis, also analysing the incidence of brain metastasis from different primary sites. METHODS This study was conducted in Radiotherapy department of Government Medical College, Calicut during 1997-1999, involving 50 patients with radiologically proven brain metastasis. All patients received whole brain radiation treatment to a dose of 3000 cGY /10 F/2 weeks and were analysed for symptomatic relief and survival. RESULT About ¾th of the patients obtained symptomatic relief within 2 weeks after starting radiation treatment. 72% of patients survived upto 6 months after radiotherapy. CONCLUSION External beam irradiation to whole brain in the dose of 3000 cGY/10F/2 weeks is an effective method of treatment of brain metastasis both in terms of early symptomatic relief and survival.

“…Brain metastases occur most commonly in patients aged between 50 and 70 years (12,13) . Some studies have reported a slightly higher incidence of brain metastases in females compared to males (14) whereas a few other studies have reported no significant gender based differences in the incidence of brain metastases (15) . Our study showed a female preponderance.…”
