recurrent/progressive brain metastases. Therefore, no level 1 or level 2 =

recommendations can be made. </P>
<P class=3D"">Given that none of the included studies compared the =
different=20
modalities (WBRT, SRS, surgical resection or chemotherapy) for the =
treatment of=20
recurrent/progressive brain metastases, the relative merits of one =
approach=20
versus another are yet to be determined. Furthermore, retrospective =
studies of=20
patients with recurrent/progressive brain metastases who have previously =

undergone WBRT, and then received subsequent re-irradiation, show =
conflicting=20
results with regard to neurologic improvement and quality of life. </P>
<P class=3D"">It is recommended that treatment of recurrent/progressive =
brain=20
metastases be individualized based on functional status, extent of =
disease,=20
volume/number of metastases, recurrence or progression at original =
versus=20
non-original site, previous treatment and type of primary cancer. In =
this=20
context, re-irradiation (either WBRT and/or SRS), surgical excision or, =
to a=20
lesser extent, chemotherapy, can be recommended depending on a =
patient=92s=20
specific condition and based on the judgment of the patient=92s treating =

physician. </P>
<P class=3D"">As no studies were identified that met the eligibility =
criteria for=20
the question addressing whether tumor histopathology impacts treatment =
outcomes=20
when WBRT is used in the setting of recurrent/progressive brain =
metastases, no=20
evidence-based recommendations can be made on this topic. </P></DIV>

<DIV class=3Dheading2>Key issues for further investigation</DIV>
<P class=3D"">This systematic review of the evidence highlights the =
critical need=20
for comparative studies that directly evaluate the outcome of different=20
treatment modalities for patients with recurrent/progressive metastatic =
brain=20
disease, while simultaneously addressing the role of tumor =
histopathology in=20
treatment outcomes. In addition, understanding potential differences in =
the mode=20
of death (neurologic versus systemic progression), will help answer the=20
important question of whether treating recurrent/progressive lesions =
delays=20
neurologic progression long enough to allow more aggressive therapy for =
the=20
primary systemic disease. </P>
<P class=3D"">Moreover, specific patient characteristics offer important =
clinical=20
variables in evaluating treatment for recurrent/progressive metastases, =
such as=20
if the recurrence/progression occurs at the site of the primary focal =
treatment=20
(surgery or SRS) and if it is clinically symptomatic or discovered =
because of=20
routine surveillance neuroimaging. Indeed, as the treatment of=20
recurrent/progressive brain metastases is undertaken primarily with =
palliative=20
intent, it is important to stress which symptoms these treatments are =
poised to=20
address and how overall patient quality of life is going to be affected =
by any=20
re-treatment modality. </P>
<P class=3D""><I>No ongoing or recently closed randomized clinical =
trials=20
addressing the re-treatment of patients with recurrent/progressive brain =

metastases were found that met the eligibility criteria</I>. </P></DIV>
