In cases of progressive or recurrent disease after RT, similar options exist. The control rate following a second course of RT is unknown.

Purpose: The clinical course of patients diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with brain metastases (BM) at presentation is variable. Here we seek to identify predictors of survival in patients staged with FDG-PET/CT. American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) 52nd Annual Meeting July 18-22, Philadelphia, PA

Purpose: While several studies analyze the incidence of brain metastases in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI), there is little data available on how this treatment can affect medical cost and morbidity. Our goal was to analyze those issues patients encounter secondary to brain metastases, often in the final months of their lives, and to support the hypothesis of economic benefit and cost effectiveness resulting from the use of PCI in this population.
