Popis: Highlights • We performed a validity test of the Renal Graded Prognostic Assessment. • Therefore, we developed a new grading index. These results were validated using another dataset including 397 renal cancer patients with BMs. • This new grading system was clearly useful for predicting post-SRS outcomes of BM patients with renal cancer.
Background and purpose The Renal Graded Prognostic Assessment (GPA) is relatively new and has not been sufficiently validated using a different dataset. We thus developed a new grading index, the Renal Brain Metastasis Score (Renal-BMS). Materials and methods Using our dataset including 262 renal cancer patients with brain metastases (BMs) undergoing stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) (test series), we validity tested the Renal-GPA. Next, we applied clinical factor-survival analysis to the test series and thereby developed the Renal-BMS. This system was then validated using another series of 352 patients independently undergoing SRS at nine gamma knife facilities in Japan (verification series). Results Using the test series, with the Renal-GPA, 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of the post-SRS median survival times (MSTs) overlapped between pairs of neighboring subgroups. Among various pre-SRS clinical factors of the test series, six were highly associated with overall survival. Therefore, we assigned scores for six factors, i.e., “KPS ≥ 80%/
