Assessment of extracranial metastatic disease in patients with brain metastases: How much effort is needed in the context of evolving survival prediction models?
Nieder, Carsten; Mehta, Minesh P.; Guckenberger, Matthias; Gaspar, Laurie E.; Rusthoven, Chad G.; Sahgal, Arjun; Grosu, Anca L.; De Ruysscher, Dirk (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-04)Survival prediction models may serve as decision-support tools for clinicians who have to assign the right treatment to each patient, in a manner whereby harmful over- or undertreatment is avoided as much as possible. Current models differ regarding their components, the overall number of components and the weighting of individual components. Some of the components are easy to assess, such as age ... -
European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology and European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer consensus on re-irradiation: definition, reporting, and clinical decision making

With the use of new radiotherapy techniques, which allow for conformal treatment plans, image guidance, and short fractionation schemes, the use of re-irradiation for different sites is ... -
Management of patients with brain metastases from non-small cell lung cancer and adverse prognostic features: multi-national radiation treatment recommendations are heterogeneous
Nieder, Carsten; Guckenberger, Matthias; Gaspar, Laurie E.; Rusthoven, Chad G.; De Ruysscher, Dirk; Sahgal, Arjun; Nguyen, Timothy; Grosu, Anca L.; Mehta, Minesh P. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-02-15)<p><i>Background - </i>Different management options exist for patients with brain metastases from non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), patients whose treatment with whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) has become more controversial over the last decade. It is not trivial to find the optimal balance of over- versus undertreatment in these patients. Several recent trials, including the randomized QUARTZ ...
