Radiation dosage in different treatment groups based on response to chemotherapy
Response after chemotherapy | WBRT dose (Gy) | Total dose (Gy) |
---|---|---|
Standard-dose group (>23.4 Gy) | ||
CR (n = 27) | 27.0 (25.2–30.6) | 45.0 (36.0–54.0) |
PR (n = 36) | 30.6 (25.2–36.0) | 50.4 (45.0–55.8) |
SD/PD (n = 5) | 30.6 (27.0–36.0) | 50.4 (45.0–54.0) |
Reduced-dose group (≤23.4 Gy) | ||
CR (n = 9) | 19.8 (18.0–23.4) | 36.0 (36.0–50.4) |
PR (n = 9) | 21.6 (18.0–23.4) | 45.0 (45.0–50.4) |
SD/PD (n = 2) | 20.7 (18.0–23.4) | 42.3 (39.6–45.0) |
Values are presented as median (range).
WBRT, whole-brain radiotherapy; CR, complete response; PR, partial response; SD, stable disease; PD, progressive disease.
