WBRT for brain metastases - the end of an era?
Solitary brain metastasis Multiple brain metastasisLimited brain metastasis
- 42 Yr Female- K/C/O Early Ca Breast diagnosed 1 yr back
- BCS + adequate CT + RT done- On HT
- ER/PR +Ve ; Her2neu –ve
- C/o Headache 1 month back
- MRI Showing 3 lesions in brain - Deep seated lesions
- PET scan – No disease in any other region
- Good GC- Neurological status- normal
Usual treatment: Biopsy for the parietal lesion in brainWBRT – 30Gy/10# + Systemic therapy
Expected survival approx. 6 monthsQOL / Cognitive function preservation – not considered
Case scenario # 1
Brain metastasis: Conventional Treatment • WBRT (30Gy/10#) IS STANDARD OF CARE
• Outcome of treatment: Survival 6-12 months
• German helmet Field • 30Gy/10# = 40Gy/16# = 20Gy/5#
• Prognosis based on RPA (Gasper 1997)• RPA is based on KPS, age, Extra-cranial site
disease, Controlled primary
RPA Class

I <65 >70 Controlled primaryNo other disease 7.1
II NS >70 NS 4.2
III NS <70 NS 2.3
Gasper et al, IJROBP 1997
WBRT fractionation schedule: NO difference in outcome
Overall Survival: 30Gy/10# = 40Gy/15# = 20Gy/5#

Brain metastasis: Graded prognostic Score
• Favorable group of patient median survival is 12 months• >25% pt live >2 yrs
- GDA Scoring 3.5- Median Survival 11 months- Survival probability >2 yr 25%
- NEED to consider QOL & IQ
- Newer Systemic therapies have increased hope for longer extra-cranial disease control & survival
Case Scenario #1
Brain metastasis: Solitary mets: WBRT+SRS/Surgery
- Single brain metastasis: WBRT + SRS/Sur boost have 2 months survival benefit
Brain metastasis: Solitary mets: WBRT+SRS/Surgery
- Single brain metastasis: WBRT + SRS/Sur boost have 2 months survival benefit

Issues with WBRT: Cognitive function impairment
Decline in domain scores after WBRT
Brain metastasis: WBRT Issues
• WBRT (30Gy/10#) WAS STANDARD OF CARE TILL 1990s• Outcome of treatment: Survival 6-12 months
• In 1990s, Patchel et al & RTOG study in solitary/ oligo brain mets showed survival advantage of SRS/Surgery + WBRT vs WBRT alone
• Last 2 decades, in limited brain mets std of care is Surgery/SRS + WBRT• Multiple mets WBRT alone
• WBRT have issues with cognitive function• With better systemic therapy & improved survival, cognitive function is an important issue
• After ONLY surgery, if no RT then high local recurrence (74% vs 25%) (Benedett et al)• Adj RT even after surgery is a must
• Role of WBRT is argued vis a vis SRS/ Surgery

SRS in brain mets - Issues
- Radionecrosis- 5-17%
- Steroid dependence- few
- MRI changes/ persistent oedema
- Leptomengial spread- Not consistent
- Issues with larger cavity
- Appropriate planning/ contouring
- Expertize
Cost Effectiveness of treatment

Efficacy of treatment of Brain metastasis
Brain metastasis: RPA according to primary sites
Brain metastasis: RPA according to primary sites
Brain metastasis: RPA according to IHC status
Brain metastasis: May NOT consider RT in specific group
Brain metastasis: Molecules targeted at primary sites
Brain metastasis: Immunotherapy adding to SRS
Evolving standard of care in brain metastasis
Till 1990s: • Whole brain RT is standard of care• Studies were focused on dosage schedule• 30Gy/10# equivalent to 40Gy/16#• Median survival 6-12 months
Since 1990s:
• Limited brain mets- WBRT+ SRS is standard of care (Level 1 evidence, Rec A)• Randomized studies showed 2 mo survival benefit on addition of SRS• 30Gy/10# + 12 Gy Boost• Median survival 2 months benefit
Evolving standard of care in brain metastasis
• Gondi et al Hippocampal sparing RT randomized study is onging• Ph III study (N107c study): Sur +WBRT Vs Sur+ SRS boost
Since 2012: • Limited brain metastasis- SRS alone (Level 1A evidence, Rec A)• Randomized studies showed no OS benefit with WBRT• Meta-analysis confirmed: No OS benefit with WBRT, only LC benefit• Randomized studies confirmed Cognitive function decline with WBRT• WBRT only on recurrence / leptomeningial disease• SRS boost after surgery: reduce local recurrence (Level II, Rec B)• Preservation of cognitive function• Hippocampal sparing RT is new & exciting (Level II, Rec B)• Need randomized study for confirmation of it’s effectiveness
Future:
Conclusions: Role of WBRT
- Limited brain metastasis: SRS alone is the standard of care (Level 1A evidence, Rec A)- Multiple brain mets with poor prognosis: WBRT is standard of care
- In limited metastasis, role of WBRT arguable- There is no overall survival benefit with addition of WBRT vis a vis SRS ONLY- Declines in cognitive function & QOL
- Hippocampal sparing RT in limited brain disease is new & exciting (Level II, Rec B)- Need randomized evidence with adequate end-point for confirmation of it’s effectiveness
- SRS boost after surgery: reduce local recurrence (Level II, Rec B)- Preservation of cognitive function
WBRT may be history soon
