Background Brain metastasis (BM) is an uncommon complication of sarcomas with a poor prognosis. Little information is available about the feasibility and prognostic factors of surgical resection of BM from sarcomas. Methods This study involved a retrospective analysis of 22 patients with BM from sarcomas who underwent resection at six institutes in Japan. Prognostic factors were analyzed to develop a graded prognostic assessment (GPA) using the log-rank test and Cox regression analysis. For validation of this GPA, we collected data on 100 surgical cases from 48 published reports. Results Postoperative Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) improved in 50% of our patients. Median overall survival (OS) was 21 months. Multivariate analysis showed age and alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) were significant preoperative prognostic factors (P < 0.05). RTOG-RPA classification had no significant prognostic value. We developed a GPA system for OS after resection of BM. A score of 0 was assigned to patients aged 18-29 years with non-ASPS, 2 to patients aged 18-29 years with ASPS or 30-76 years with non-ASPS, and 4 to patients aged 30-76 years with ASPS. Median OS for patients with GPA scores of 0, 2, and 4 were 6.5, 16.0, and 44.0 months, respectively (P = 0.002). The results were validated by the data of 100 cases compiled (P < 0.001). Conclusion Median OS of patients with BM from sarcomas was comparable to that from carcinomas after resection. A new sarcoma-specific GPA may help patients and clinicians to select resection as an option for treatment of BM from sarcomas.
