Analysis of the Outcome of Treatment of Brain Metastases from Malignant Trophoblastic Tumours and Risk Factors for Prognosis during Pregnancy.

Temozolomide combined with whole-brain radiotherapy has good near-term efficacy and safety in the treatment of brain metastases from nonsmall cell lung cancer. In this study, we analyzed the risk factors for treatment and prognosis of brain metastases in gestational trophoblastic neoplasm (GTN) during pregnancy. Thirty-one patients with brain metastases were included in the study. All patients had a pathological diagnosis of primary lesions, including 23 adenocarcinomas, 7 squamous carcinomas, and 1 adenosquamous carcinoma, and had ≥3 intracranial metastases, controlled primary lesions (including resected primary lesions or unresectable primary lesions in partial remission (PR)/complete remission (CR) for ≥2 months) by cranial enhancement MRI and no extracranial metastases. Presence or control of extracranial metastases was for ≥2 months. The common adverse toxic effects were nausea, vomiting, neutropenia, and thrombocytopenia, but most patients tolerated them with symptomatic management.
