4 *Discuss the role of whole brain radiotherapy in preventing the development of brain metastases in small-cell and non-small cell lung cancer *Discuss the role of radiosurgery in managing brain metastases from NSCLC *Discuss the role of WBRT in conjunction with surgery or SRS *

5 *Although SCLC responds dramatically to chemotherapy, it does not readily penetrate the BBB, resulting in a microscopic sanctuary site. *Intracranial failure rates therefore remain very high *Because of the innate sensitivity of SCLC to XRT, low dose cranial treatment should reduce the likelihood of developing brain mets *Several clinical trials have validated this and a large 1999 meta-analysis showed that PCI reduces the 3-year rate of brain mets by 25% and improves survival by 5% *

6 First-Line Chemo-RX: Response of Asymptomatic Brain Metastases From Small-Cell Lung Cancer to Systemic First-Line Chemotherapy* CNS Response Rate: 27% Systemic Response Rate : 73% *Cyt, Adria, & VP16 Tatjana et al., J. Clin Oncol vol 24, pp , 2006

11 Summary: PCI in ES-SCLC PCI significantly reduces the risk of symptomatic brain metastases (p<0.001; HR=0.27; 14.6 vs. 40.4% at 1 yr) No difference in time to extra-cranial progression PCI significantly prolongs failure-free survival and overall survival (Overall survival: p=0.003; HR=0.68; 27.1 vs. 13.3% at 1 yr) PCI is well tolerated and does not substantially influence global QoL/health status/cognitive function

21 * *NCF deterioration occurs early and often. *We have analyzed the time course of NCF decline employing 8 prospectively measured domains in 208 brain metastases patients treated with 30 Gy WBRT and have found that: *Median time to NCF deterioration was longer in good than in poor responders. *Memory was most susceptible to early decline, even in patients with non-progressing brain metastases: the role of the hippocampus

22 *Limit PCI to very high risk populations only *Non-squamous NSCLC patients have 27% risk *Neuroprotectors *RTOG 0614, Memantine *Use BBB-penetrating chemotherapy, e.g. TMZ *SP PO5416, randomized phase II trial *Hippocampal avoidance *To protect the radiosensitive neuro-progenitor stem cell compartment (not anatomic protection) *
