<DIV class=3DFulltext>

<HR>

<DIV class=3Dheading2>Rationale</DIV>
<P class=3D"">Brain metastases are a common complication of systemic =
cancer,=20
occurring in approximately 20=9640% of patients. Since an intracranial =
mass lesion=20
may predispose patients to seizure, the question has arisen as to =
whether=20
prophylactic use of anticonvulsants may prevent seizures in this =
population.=20
Previously published guidelines on this topic have included patients =
with both=20
primary and secondary brain tumors [<CITE><A=20
href=3D"http://www.springerlink.com/content/v69317g735r2381m/fulltext.htm=

<CITE><A=20
href=3D"http://www.springerlink.com/content/v69317g735r2381m/fulltext.htm=
l#CR2">2</A></CITE>].=20
</P>
<P class=3D"">The objective of this guideline paper is to specifically =
address the=20
role of anticonvulsant prophylaxis in adults with solid metastases to =
the brain.=20
The rationale for this is that intracranial metastases from systemic =
cancer tend=20
to be spherical and more contained when compared to primary brain tumors =
which=20
are more infiltrative in nature. Given this difference in typical growth =

patterns, it is conventionally thought that brain metastases may be less =
likely=20
to induce seizures than primary tumors. </P></DIV>

<DIV class=3Dheading2>Conclusions and discussion</DIV>
<P class=3D"">It is very difficult to make recommendations regarding the =
role of=20
anticonvulsant prophylaxis in patients with brain metastases based on =
sub-group=20
data from one underpowered randomized trial. All of the studies =
evaluating=20
prophylactic anticonvulsant use identified by this systematic review =
included=20
patients with both primary and secondary tumors. Only one of these =
trials=20
stratified by metastases versus primary pathology and presented baseline =
data=20
for the brain metastases sub-group and, therefore, met the eligibility =
criteria=20
for this systematic review. </P>
<P class=3D"">Given the premise that brain metastases are probably less =
likely=20
than primary brain tumors to cause seizures, it is noteworthy that =
previously=20
published guidelines on the role of anticonvulsants in patients with =
brain=20
tumors (either primary or secondary) have recommended against their =
prophylactic=20
use [<CITE><A=20
href=3D"http://www.springerlink.com/content/v69317g735r2381m/fulltext.htm=
l#CR1">1</A></CITE>,=20
<CITE><A=20
href=3D"http://www.springerlink.com/content/v69317g735r2381m/fulltext.htm=
l#CR2">2</A></CITE>].=20
Although only the single aforementioned study met our search criteria, =
the=20
rationale for making a Level 3 recommendation not to use routine =
prophylactic=20
anticonvulsants is further explained by the fact that anticonvulsant use =
can=20
have significant adverse effects, and by the lack of evidence suggesting =
any=20
benefit from the prophylactic use of anticonvulsants for patients with =
brain=20
metastases. The key conclusion from these guidelines, then, is that =
there is a=20
lack of a clear and robust benefit from the routine prophylactic use of=20
anticonvulsants. </P></DIV>
<DIV class=3D""><A name=3DSec10></A>
<HR>

<DIV class=3Dheading2>Key issues for future investigation</DIV>
<DIV class=3DPara>
<DIV class=3D"">Given the ubiquity of anticonvulsant use for =
prophylactic and=20
active treatment of seizures associated with metastatic brain disease, =
the=20
medical literature contains relatively few detailed reports specifically =

addressing their use. Future studies could be planned to allow better =
control,=20
recording and analysis of anticonvulsant dosing and response to allow a =
more=20
robust analysis of the risk to benefit ratio of various agents. A host =
of newer=20
anticonvulsants are now available and in widespread use [<CITE><A=20
href=3D"http://www.springerlink.com/content/v69317g735r2381m/fulltext.htm=
l#CR7">7</A></CITE>].=20
These often have a better safety profile than older agents and lower =
likelihood=20
for significant drug interactions. Although patients with metastatic =
carcinoma=20
may be prone to seizure, prophylactic anticonvulsant use is not =
recommended.=20
Once a seizure has occurred, however, anticonvulsants are safe and =
effective,=20
especially the newer agents. Unresolved questions which could be the =
subject of=20
prospective studies include the prognosis for patients with a single=20
peri-operative seizure versus multiple symptomatic seizures, with =
regards to=20
long-term control, adverse effects of therapy and safety.=20
