“…One large retrospective study of 1,702 patients comparing SRS+WBRT to WBRT alone also reported a significant survival benefit for patients receiving SRS for all three RPA classes (Sanghavi, 2001). Three other studies comparing SRS alone to WBRT alone found that SRS patients lived significantly longer (Kocher, 2004;Lee, 2008;Rades, 2007b), while one found no significant survival difference (Datta, 2004).…”

“…The SRS alone group had improved neuroimaging response (87% vs. 38%), median time to progression (6.9 vs. 4 months) and longer median survival (9.3 vs. 5.7) months. Although there have been no RCTs addressing this question data from the Li et al trial and four other retrospective cohorts studies [42][43][44][45] provides level II/B evidence for SRS alone being superior to WBRT alone in terms of survival for patients with up to 3 lesions.…”

“…A radiocirurgia é eficaz no controle local das lesões, mas parece não afetar de forma significativa a sobrevida de pacientes com múltiplas metástases, já que geralmente o controle intracraniano é eficaz, mas a doença extra-craniana progride. Em pacientes selecionados, que possuem boas condições neurológicas, a radiocirurgia diminui a progressão das metástases e melhora a sobrevida cognitiva do paciente [18][19][20][21] .…”

“…A dose do tratamento com radioterapia estereotáxica ou radiocirurgia é inversamente proporcional ao volume de tratamento. Segundo este princípio, metástases pequenas podem tolerar doses crescentes de radiação 20 .…”
