TIPS-16 A PROSPECTIVE COHORT STUDY ON THE IMPACT OF RADIOTHERAPY ON QUALITY OF LIFE AND DISEASE PROGRESSION IN PATIENTS WITH BRAIN METASTASES AND THEIR CAREGIVERS

ABSTRACT: Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Brain metastases (BMs) are diagnosed in 10-30% of all cancer patients, and the incidence is expected to rise due to advancements in primary tumor management. Besides survival, the impact of treatment on quality of life (QoL) and course of disease is highly relevant for patients and their caregivers. The Cohort for patient-reported Outcomes, Imaging and trial inclusion in Metastatic BRAin disease (COIMBRA) study aims to gather data on natural disease progression, treatment response, tumor recurrence, complications, QoL (for both patient and caregiver), cognitive performance and survival of patients with BMs. Additionally, the study evaluates feasibility, performance and added value of new MRI techniques in patients with BMs, while providing an infrastructure f
