[Semi-concentrated radiation of cerebral metastases of bronchial cancer].
1982
: Results of radiotherapy in 49 patients with cerebral metastases are reported, overall treatment including anti-edema therapy based on Synacthene and radiotherapy of the whole brain by delivering 17.5 grays in 5 days. Tolerance to treatment was good. Total, durable (more than 2 months) neurological remission was obtained in 50 p. cent of cases, duration of remission being a mean of 120 days in patients responding to therapy. Concentrated irradiation is therefore effective and useful in the treatment of cerebral metastases from bronchial cancer as it improves survival conditions.
