• W4387206568 abstract "Brain metastases (BM) are a common occurrence in patients with advanced cancers, and extremely challenging to treat, resulting in short survival periods. Consequently, whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT) remains the standard palliative intervention for patients with BM. The present study set to evaluate the efficacy of WBRT by assessing the quality of life (QoL) and survival outcomes in WBRT-treated patients with BM. It was hypothesized that the WBRT would enhance the QoL through alleviation of symptoms and functionality, and prolong patient survival.This was a prospective, longitudinal, hospital-based single-center study. Consecutive sampling methodology was used to recruit 52 patients with BM undergoing WBRT. Patients were followed up on days 7, 30, 90 and 180 after WBRT. The European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 15-Palliative care (EORTC QLQ-C15-PAL) was employed to report patient responses in a Likert scale. A descriptive analysis and multi-trait scaling correlation was computed using IBM SPSS Statistics 29.0, 95% confidence interval. The overall survival analysis (Kaplan-Meier) was also performed.The study cohort was predominantly females (82.7%), and accordingly, 65.4% of the respondents had a breast primary tumor. A Shapiro-Wilk test of normality revealed that the data was not normally distributed (sig. < 0.05), however, statistic values (W) closer to 1 suggested a good fit. A goodness-of-fit test ascertained the assumption, yielding non-significant Chi square Pearson (p = 0.325) and Deviance (p = 1.000) residuals. There was a significant correlation (p < 0.001) between physical functioning and emotional functioning. Median overall survival was 180 days (∼6 months). A total of 20 patients (38%) that survived up to 180 days reported alleviated symptoms and better functioning. A significant improvement in physical functioning (p < 0.001) and emotional functioning (p = 0.031) was reported at 180 days post WBRT, compared to baseline. Similarly, a significant improvement in visual disorders (p = 0.002), motor dysfunction (p = 0.031), and communication deficit (p = 0.001) was also reported. A significant alleviation of pain was reported at day 90 (p = 0.042) by 53% of the patients that survived.WBRT is an effective palliative intervention in patients with BM, resulting in improved QoL and prolonged survival. More than 50% of patients that survived 3 months reported a significant alleviation of pain, and 38% of patients that survived for 6 months reported a significantly improved functioning. This demonstrated the effectiveness of WBRT in palliative care and will add to the body of data on the efficacy of radiotherapy." @default.
