Resection of isolated brain metastases in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients - evaluation of outcome and prognostic factors: A retrospective multicenter study.

<h4>Background and objectives</h4>Brain metastases occur in about 30% of all patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In selected patients, long-term survival can be achieved by resection of brain metastases. In this retrospective study, we investigate the prognosis of NSCLC pat...

In selected patients, long-term survival can be achieved by resection of brain metastases. In this retrospective study, we investigate the prognosis of NSCLC patients with resected brain metastases and possible prognostic factors.<h4>Methods</h4>In 119 patients with NSCLC and resected brain metastases, we report the following parameters: extent of resection, resection status, postoperative complications and overall survival (OS). We used the log-rank test to compare unadjusted survival probabilities and multivariable Cox regression to investigate potential prognostic factors with respect to OS.<h4>Results</h4>A total of 146 brain metastases were resected in 119 patients. The median survival was 18.0 months. Postoperative cerebral radiotherapy was performed in 86% of patients. Patients with postoperative radiotherapy had significantly longer survival (median OS 20.2 vs. 9.0 months, p = 0.002). The presence of multiple brain metastases was a negative prognostic factor (median OS 13.5 vs. 19.5 months, p = 0.006). Survival of patients with extracerebral metastases of NSCLC was significantly shorter than in patients who had exclusively brain metastases (median OS 14.0 vs. 23.1 months, p = 0.005). Both of the latter factors were independent prognostic factors for worse outcome in multivariate analysis.<h4>Conclusions</h4>Based on these data, resection of solitary brain metastases in patients with NSCLC and controlled extracerebral tumor disease is safe and leads to an overall favorable outcome.
