Scientists dig into past cases to find best brain tumor treatments for stomach cancer patients
NCT ID NCT07448493
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study reviews medical records from 230 adults with stomach or esophagus cancer that spread to the brain. Researchers want to see which local treatments (like surgery or radiation) worked best and how long patients lived. The goal is to gather information to help doctors make better treatment decisions in the future.

Who is studied
The study population consists of adult patients (≥ 18 years) with histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the stomach, adenocarcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus, or adenocarcinoma of the gastroesophageal junction, and radiologically ± histologically documented brain metastases. Patients referred after initial local treatment for brain metastases are included provided that complete documentation of the first treatment modality is available.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Male and female patients aged 18 years or older; * Histologically confirmed epithelial malignancy of the stomach (gastric adenocarcinoma), esophagus (esophageal adenocarcinoma), or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ adenocarcinoma). Patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus are also eligible; * Radiologically ± histologically confirmed brain metastases, including: * Solid brain parenchymal metastases * Leptomeningeal disease (LMD) * Both solid metastases and LMD Exclusion Criteria: * Synchronous or metachronous multiple primary malignancies (MPM) involving sites other than the stomach, esophagus, or gastroesophageal junction; * Primary tumor located outside the stomach, esophagus, or gastroesophageal junction; * Histologically confirmed non-epithelial gastrointestinal malignancy (e.g., neuroendocrine tumors, sarcoma, gastrointestinal stromal tumor, lymphoma); * Isolated spinal cord involvement without brain parenchymal metastases; * Incomplete medical records precluding assessment of at least one primary endpoint (OS, TTIP, or CNS-PFS). Patients with available data for any primary endpoint are eligible, even if other clinical details are missing. * Prior local treatment for brain metastases at an outside institution with no available records, precluding determination of the first local treatment modality
