摘要


立體放射線手術在治療轉移性腦瘤己扮演重要的角色,尤其針對病灶已接受過全腦放射線治療仍復發的個案,更顯出其特別的效果。一般大部份小於1立方公分轉移性的腦瘤,經立體放射線手術治療後,可以完全消失。然而,比較大的轉移性腫瘤卻很少被報導經治療後,可以完全消失。所以,我們報導一個肺腺瘤轉移至腦部的個案,經過二次開顱手術及全腦放射線治療後,仍發現有復發,直徑大小約3cm。經過電腦刀治療後,此病灶在三個月後完全消失。

並列摘要


Stereotactic radiosurgery plays an important role in management of metastatic brain tumors, especially when the tumor has recurred after treatment with previous whole brain radiotherapy. Most metastatic brain tumors less than 1cm3 show a complete response after stereotactic radiosurgery. However, there are few reports of a dramatic change in the complete response of large metastatic brain tumors. Here, we report a case of adenocarcinoma of lung that had metastasized to the brain. Because the recurrence of the metastatic brain tumor measured approximately 3cm in diameter, the tumor was previously treated with two prior craniotomies followed by whole brain radiation to the resection cavity. The tumor subsequently recurred and was treated with stereotactic radiosurgery (CyberKnife). Adramatic response was noted 3 months after radiosurgery with complete disappearance of the recurrent tumor.
