50 SRS as an alternative to WBRT after surgery in order to improve local control eliminate/delay the toxicity of WBRT

51 Preop Postop SRS Plan 3 months

53 SRS for Surgical Cavity Small cavity = Single fraction Large cavity = Fractionated

55 Timing of SRS Usually 2-4 weeks after Sx The greatest volume change occurs immediately after surgery (postop days 0-3) There is no need to wait for cavity shrinkage after 1 or 2 weeks Atalar, Neurosurgery 2013

56 Effect of additional margin on LC Difficulty of delineation of resection bed after Sx Study Local Control (%) 0 vs 2 mm Toxicity (%) 0 vs 2 mm Nataf, France, 2008, n=93 72 vs 69 (NS) 7 vs 20 (p=0.02) Choi, Stanford, 2012, n= vs 97 (p=0.042) 8 vs 3 (NS)

57 Neoadjuvant SRS Clearer delineation of the target Theoretically reduces the risk of intraoperative spread Possible additional mass effect which may complicate the resection n=47, median 14 Gy ( Gy) Median 1 day (0-17d) between SRS and Sx LC@1y 86% Asher, IJROBP 2014

58 Prognostic factors for LC Superficial with dural involvement and >3 cm higher local recurrence Brennan, IJROBP 2014

59 Prognostic factors for LC Breast cancer = leptomeningeal spread 24 vs 9% compared to non- breast histologies (p=0.004) Atalar, IJROBP 2013

60 Complications of Postop SRS Any clinical toxicity 0-26% Surgical Radionecrosis 3% Neurocognitive function is reported to be better compared to WBRT, though prospective comparison is awaited

61 Can we replace RT with supra total resection? Yoo, J Neurosurg 2009

62 Ongoing Phase III Trials Arm 1 Arm 2 Primary endpoint MDACC Observation Cavity SRS NCCTG- NCI- NRG 1270 WBRT Cavity SRS Poland WBRT Cavity SRS Local Control Overall Survival Neurocognitive Function Failure- free Survival Neurocognitive Function

63 Conclusion- I SRS alone is an effective treatment for brain metastases (not limited with number) For tumors <2 cm, single fraction achieves high local control with low toxicity For larger mets hypofractionation may increase the local control rate with lower toxicity Histopathology, number and cumulative volume of mets may further guide for the choice of treatment

64 Conclusion- II Surgery alone has a high rate of local recurrence which requires salvage treatments Both local recurrence and the salvage treatments may impair the QOL of the patients. SRS to the cavity is an effective local RT method which increases the local control with lesser toxicity compared to WBRT
