A Cox proportional hazard model was applied for univariate and multivariate analyses.Results: Among the 251 patients, the median post-recurrence overall survival was 8 months, and the six-month PROS rate was 60.2%. The interval from initial radiosurgery treatment to intracranial recurrence (hazard ratio [HR]:0.970), the number of brain recurrent tumors (HR:1.245), the number of extracranial metastatic organs (HR:1.183), recursive partition analysis (RPA) (HR:1.778), and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG PS) (HR:2.442) were identified as independent prognostic factors. The patients who received local treatment for solitary brain recurrence achieved better survival (the median survival time after recurrence was 22 months). In patients without extracranial metastasis, the median post-recurrence overall survival of the local treatment group was longer than that in the whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT) group (P< 0.001) and the systemic therapy group (P< 0.001).Conclusion: A shorter interval from initial stereotactic radiosurgery to recurrence, an increasing number of brain recurrences and extracranial metastatic organs, and poor RPA and ECOG PS values are associated with poor post-recurrence prognosis. When the number of brain recurrent tumors and extracranial metastatic organs was limited, local treatment including stereotactic radiosurgery, surgery or intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) improved the post-recurrence overall survival.Keywords: stereotactic radiosurgery, brain metastases, prognostic factors, intracranial recurrence, salvage treatment |
