Tóm tắt

Objectives: To investigate intracranial progression-free survival (iPFS) and its associated prognostic factors in patients with brain metastases (BM) from non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with a combination of upfront Gamma Knife radiosurgery and tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Methods: A longitudinal observational study was conducted on 74 patients at Vietnam National Cancer Hospital from February 2021 to May 2025. Results: The median iPFS was 22 months (95%CI: 17.45 - 26.55). The iPFS rates at 6, 12, and 24 months were 94.6%, 77.9%, and 40.4%, respectively. Regression analysis revealed that iPFS was not significantly influenced by the number of BM (p = 0.98), total tumor volume (p = 0.51), EGFR mutations (p = 0.26). In contrast, the presence of extracranial metastases (HR: 3.39, 95%CI: 1.31 - 8.74; p = 0.01) and the status of extracranial disease control (HR: 4.52; 95%CI: 2.13 - 9.60, p < 0.01) were identified as two independent prognostic factors for iPFS. Conclusion: In this study, the median iPFS was 22 months for NSCLC patients with BM treated with upfront Gamma Knife and TKIs. The presence of extracranial metastases and poorly controlled extracranial disease were significant predictors of iPFS.
