Prognostic Importance

What is the GPA?

The Graded Prognostic Assessment (GPA) is a simplified, user-friendly tool developed by the RTOG (Radiation Therapy Oncology Group) to estimate the survival of patients with brain metastases. It was designed to be more objective and quantitative than the older RPA (Recursive Partitioning Analysis). The original GPA uses four simple criteria: Age, Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS), number of brain metastases, and the presence of extracranial metastases.
