PURPOSE: The study's purpose was to analyze return to work and other long-term outcomes in younger patients with newly diagnosed brain metastases, treated before they reached legal retirement age, i.e. younger than 65 years.
METHODS: We included patients who survived greater than 2 years after their first treatment, regardless of approach (systemic therapy, neurosurgical resection, whole-brain or stereotactic radiotherapy). The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients who worked 2 years after their initial treatment for brain metastases. Outcomes beyond the 2-year cut-off were also abstracted from comprehensive electronic health records, throughout the follow-up period.
RESULTS: Of 455 patients who received active therapy for brain metastases, 62 (14%) survived for > 2 years. Twenty-eight were younger than 65 years. The actuarial median survival was 81 months and the 5-year survival rate 53%. For patients alive after 5 years, the 10-year survival rate was 54%. At diagnosis, 25% of patients (7 of 28) were permanently incapacitated for work/retired. Of the remaining 21 patients, 33% did work 2 years later. However, several of these patients went on to receive disability pension afterwards. Eventually, 19% continued working in the longer run. Younger age, absence of extracranial metastases, presence of a single brain metastasis, and Karnofsky performance status 90-100 were common features of patients who worked after 2 years.
CONCLUSION: Long-term survival was achieved after vastly different therapeutic approaches, regarding both upfront and sequential management. Many patients required three or more lines of brain-directed treatment. Few patients continued working in the longer run.
