Longitudinal Brain Changes Associated with Prophylactic Cranial Irradiation in Lung Cancer.
INTRODUCTION The toxic effects of prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) and platinum-based chemotherapy on cognition in the lung cancer population have not yet been well established. In the present study we examined the longitudinal neuropsychological and brain structural changes observed in patients with lung cancer who were undergoing these treatments. METHODS Twenty-two patients with smal...

BACKGROUND Prophylactic cranial irradiation reduces the incidence of brain metastasis in patients with small-cell lung cancer. Whether this treatment, when given to patients in complete remission, improves survival is not known. We performed a meta-analysis to determine whether prophylactic cranial irradiation prolongs survival. METHODS We analyzed individual data on 987 patients with small-c...

متن کاملProphylactic cranial irradiation in small cell lung cancer.
The Brain is one of the common relapse sites in small cell lung cancer because of isolation from chemotherapeutic agents by the blood-brain barrier. Prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) is expected to reduce brain relapse and increase the survival rate. PCI prolonged the survival in only 10-20% of patients with small cell lung cancer after complete response. Most randomized trials demonstrate...
متن کاملProphylactic Cranial Irradiation for Extensive Small-Cell Lung Cancer.
Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) has a high predilection for metastasizing to the brain after chemotherapy. This has been blamed on the blood-brain barrier, which prevents chemotherapy from penetrating into the brain, thus creating a sanctuary site. It has been estimated that up to three quarters of patients with SCLC will eventually develop brain metastases. This led investigators to administer p...
