Abstract
Background: This retrospective study aims to assess the efficacy of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) in the treatment of brain metastases (BM) originating from gynecological cancers. It focuses on local control (LC), distant tumor control (DTC), and overall survival (OS).
Methods: The analysis comprised 18 individuals with gynecological-origin BM treated with SRS at the Hadassah Medical Center from 2004 to 2021. Statistical analyses evaluate factors impacting LC, DTC, and OS.
Results: A total of 36 BM of gynecological origin underwent SRS. The median age at the first SRS treatment was 60 years, with a median time of 24.5 months from the primary malignancy diagnosis to BM detection. The 12-month LC rate per patient was 84.6 %, and 5.6 % per BM. Only two instances of local recurrence were observed. The DTC at 12 months was 75 %, with a 29 % overall. Non-significant trends indicating a correlation with distant brain failure with increased cumulative volume and the occurrence of craniotomy before SRS. The median OS of the cohort was 16.5 months from SRS treatment. The 6, 12, 18, and 24-month survival rates were 77.8 %, 66.7 %, 50 %, and 22.2 % respectively. Higher number of BM was associated with lower OS (p = 0.046). On multivariate analysis, age was a significant factor for OS (p = 0.03), demonstrating that older age was associated with a more favorable prognosis.
Conclusion: This study supports SRS effectiveness for treating BM from gynecological cancers and suggests similar outcomes to more common malignancies.
