Abstrakt: Background: Fractionated stereotactic radiosurgery (fSRS) is an important treatment strategy for unresected brain metastases. We previously reported that a good volumetric response 6 months after fSRS can be the first step for local control. Few studies have reported the association between gross tumor volume (GTV) dose, volumetric response, and local control in patients treated with the same number of fractions. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to investigate the GTV dose and volumetric response 6 months after fSRS in five daily fractions and identify the predictive GTV dose for local failure (LF) for unresected brain metastasis.
Methods: This retrospective study included 115 patients with 241 unresected brain metastases treated using fSRS in five daily fractions at our hospital between January 2013 and April 2022. The median prescription dose was 35 Gy (range, 30-35 Gy) in five fractions. The median follow-up time after fSRS was 16 months (range, 7-66 months).
Results: GTV D80 > 42 Gy and GTV D98 > 39 Gy were prognostic factors for over 65% volume reduction (odds ratio, 3.68, p < 0.01; odds ratio, 4.68, p < 0.01, respectively). GTV D80 > 42 Gy was also a prognostic factor for LF (hazard ratio, 0.37; p = 0.01).
Conclusions: GTV D80 > 42 Gy in five fractions led to better volume reduction and local control. The goal of planning an inhomogeneous dose distribution for fSRS in brain metastases may be to increase the GTV D80 and GTV D98. Further studies on inhomogeneous dose distributions are required.
