    • 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 ...

    • Brain Metastases Research 1990-2010: Pattern of Citation and Systematic Review of Highly Cited Articles 

      Nieder, Carsten; Grosu, Anca L.; Mehta, Minesh P. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)

One of the major databases contains 2695 scientific articles that were published during this time period. Different measures of impact, visibility, and quality of published research are available, each with ...

    • 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 ...

    • Prognostic indices for brain metastases : usefulness and challenges 

      Mehta, Minesh P.; Nieder, Carsten (Journal article; Peer reviewed; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2009-03-04)
      Background: This review addresses the strengths and weaknesses of 6 different prognostic indices, published since the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) developed and validated the widely used 3-tiered prognostic index known as recursive partitioning analysis (RPA) classes, i.e. between 1997 and 2008. In addition, other analyses of prognostic factors in groups of patients, which typically ...
