Background: Recently published results of quality of life (QoL) studies indicated different outcomes of palliative radiotherapy for brain metastases. This prospective multi-center QoL study of patients with brain metastases was designed to investigate which QoL domains improve or worsen after palliative radiotherapy and which might provide prognostic information.
Methods: From 01/2007-01/2009, n=151 patients with previously untreated brain metastases were recruited at 14 centers in Germany and Austria.
Background And Purpose: Today, there is growing concern about radiotherapy induced secondary malignancies. We analysed the incidence and dose dependence of second cancer.
Material And Methods: The study includes 12,000 one-year survivors of radiotherapy, treated between 1981 and 2007.
Background: Prospective data on quality-of-life (QoL) effects of radiotherapy for brain metastases are currently lacking, but would be of great interest to guide therapeutic decisions.
Patients And Methods: From 01/2007 to 08/2007, 46 patients with previously untreated brain metastases were recruited at eight centers. QoL was measured at start of treatment (T(0)) and at 3 months (T(3mo)).
