Favorable prognosis of breast cancer brain metastases patients with limited intracranial and extracranial metastatic lesions.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Breast cancer brain metastases (BCBM) are highly heterogenous with widely differing survival. The prognosis of the oligometastatic breast cancer (BC) patients with brain metastases (BM) has not been well studied. We aimed to investigate the prognosis of BCBM patients with limited intracranial and extracranial metastatic lesions.

Methods

Four hundred and forty-five BCBM patients treated between 1st January 2008 and 31st December 2018 at our institute were included. Clinical characteristics and treatment information were obtained from patient's medical records. The updated breast Graded Prognostic Assessment (Breast GPA) was calculated.

Results

The median OS after diagnosis of BM were 15.9 months. Median OS for patients with GPA 0-1.0, 1.5-2, 2.5-3 and 3.5-4
