abstract = {To quantify neuroanatomical changes using magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with cerebral
metastasized breast cancer after brain radiotherapy
(RT).Fifteen patients with breast cancer with brain
metastases who underwent whole brain RT (WBR), radiosurgery
(RS), and/or hypofractionated stereotactic treatment (STX)
were examined at four time points (TPs). A total of 48 MRIs
were available: prior to RT (TP1), 5-8 months after RT
(TP2), 9-11 months after RT (TP3), and >20 months after RT
(TP4). Using automatic segmentation, 25 subcortical
structures were analyzed. Patients were split into three
groups: STX (receiving STX and RS), RS (receiving RS only),
and WBR (receiving WBR at least once). After testing for a
normal distribution for all values using the
Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, a two-sided paired t test was used
to analyze volumetric changes. For those values that were
not normally distributed, the nonparametric Mann-Whitney
test was employed.The left cerebellum white matter (p =
0.028), the right pallidum (p = 0.038), and the left
thalamus (p = 0.039) significantly increased at TP2 compared
to TP1. The third ventricle increased at all TPs (p =
0.034-0.046). The left choroid plexus increased at TP3 (p =
0.037) compared to TP1. The left lateral ventricle increased
at TP3 (p = 0.012) and TP4 (p = 0.027). Total gray matter
showed a trend of volume decline in STX and WBR groups.These
findings indicate that alterations in the volume of
subcortical structures may act as a sensitive parameter when
evaluating neuroanatomical changes and brain atrophy due to
radiotherapy. Differences observed for patients who received
STX and WBR, but not those treated with RS, need to be
validated further.},
