Malignancy
NO
Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) has a critical role in the treatment of brain metastases; however, a large tumor volume is not suitable for SRS. Local tumor control is reportedly unsatisfactory for metastatic brain tumors exceeding 10 cm3 in diameter. Fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy has been used as a treatment option for large brain metastases in patients with surgical contraindications; however, there is as yet no standard procedure for dose fractionation in stereotactic irradiation for brain metastases. The purpose of this study is to evaluate results of staged gamma knife radiosurgery for large brain metastases.
Efficacy
Overall survival
1) Functional preserved survival
2) Additional treatments
3) Local tumor control

Male and Female
Patients having metastatic brain tumors treated with staged gamma knife radiosurgery until end of December 2015.
The included patients meet the following criteria:
1) newly diagnosed brain metastases
2) maximum total treatment period of 6 weeks
3) minimum interval between fractions of 12 days
4) Prescribed dose 9-11 Gy for 3 staged or 11.8-14.3 Gy for 2 staged gamma knife radiosurgery
5) KPS more than and equal to 70, or KPS less than 70 due to neurological symptom
6) maximum volume of 33.5 cm3
7) up to 10 brain tumors
8) maximum total tumor volume of 50 cm3
9) patient's head secured with Leksel G frame
10) no finding of meningeal seeding or carcinomatous meningitis on MRI
11) one or more available follow-up MRI
Patients with brain tumors of unknown origin, brain metastases of sarcoma, malignant lymphoma are excluded in this study.

In the case-matched cohort, post-GKS median survival time tended to be longer in the 3-stage group (15.9 months) than in the 2-stage group (11.7 months), but the difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.65). The cumulative incidences of tumor progression (21.6% vs 16.7% at 1 year, p = 0.31), neurological death (5.1% vs 6.0% at 1 year, p = 0.58), or serious radiation-related adverse events (3.0% vs 4.0% at 1 year, p = 0.49) did not differ significantly. CONCLUSIONS This retrospective multi-institutional study showed no differences between 3-stage and 2-stage GKS in terms of overall survival, tumor progression, neurological death, and radiation-related adverse events. Both 3-stage and 2-stage GKS performed according to the aforementioned protocols are good treatment options in selected patients with large BMs.

The following parameter will be analyzed to obtain an optimal treatment protocol:
1) presence of genetic mutation of the primary cancer
2) treatment of primary cancer
3) interval between diagnosis of brain metastases and the treatment
4) KPS at the treatment
5) control of primary cancer
6) extra cranial metastases
7) neurological symptoms
8) number of brain metastases
9) maximum tumor diameter and total tumor volume
10) treatment parameters (fractions, inter fraction interval, prescribed dose etc.)
