OBJECTIVE: Central nervous system (CNS) involvement is considered an uncommon complication in @entity1 with @entity43 . The aim of this study was to evaluate prognostic factors for survival following surgical resection of brain metastases in @entity1 with @entity43 . METHODS: A retrospective chart review was conducted on 22 @entity1 who had been submitted to neurosurgical resection of a solitary brain @entity3 from @entity43 . RESULTS: Eighteen lesions were cerebral, 4 were cerebellar. CNS was the only site of disease in 9 @entity1 , 9 @entity1 had CNS and @entity66 , and 4 also had concomitant extraperitoneal dissemination. Following surgery, 17 received whole-brain radiotherapy and 5 received systemic chemotherapy. Median survival from diagnosis of cerebral @entity3 for the entire series was 16 months (range, 4-41 months). @entity85 at the time of CNS @entity3 and time interval between diagnosis of @entity43 and CNS involvement manifestation were the only factors significantly affecting survival. CONCLUSIONS: Neurosurgical resection of brain @entity3 from @entity43 is indicated in solitary lesions in the absence of @entity262 . The role of chemotherapy and stereotactic radiosurgery should be investigated.
