OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to identify prognostic factors for brain metastases treated with Gamma knife radiosurgery. METHODS Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analyses were conducted for patients who received treatment between June 2013 and March 2018. RESULTS A total of 131 consecutive patients were included. The median follow-up period was 16.0 months (range=1.5-61.5 months). Brain metastases [hazard ratio (HR)=0.42, 95%CI=0.27-0.67, p<0.001], history of systemic therapy (HR=2.23, 95%CI=1.28-3.89, p=0.005), and active extracranial disease (HR=2.49, 95%CI=1.30-4.76, p=0.006) were independent predictors of overall survival. Number of brain metastases (HR=0.39, 95%CI=0.26-0.59, p<0.001) and history of systemic therapy (HR=1.90, 95%CI=1.17-3.08, p=0.005) were independent predictors of intracranial progression-free survival. CONCLUSIONS The number of brain metastases and the history of systemic therapy are associated with patient overall survival and intracranial progression-free survival.

D001932 Brain Neoplasms Neoplasms of the intracranial components of the central nervous system, including the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, hypothalamus, thalamus, brain stem, and cerebellum. Brain neoplasms are subdivided into primary (originating from brain tissue) and secondary (i.e., metastatic) forms. Primary neoplasms are subdivided into benign and malignant forms. In general, brain tumors may also be classified by age of onset, histologic type, or presenting location in the brain.
