Dosimetric comparison of two different whole brain radiotherapy techniques in patients with brain metastases: How to decrease lens dose?
Background: Palliative whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) has been the standard treatment for brain metastases. Ionizing radiation is known to be one of the most potent cataractogenic agents. We aimed to evaluate two different radiotherapy techniques with respect to the doses received by the organs at risk (OAR) in patients with brain metastasis who undergone WBRT. Materials and Methods: Ten conse...

متن کاملWhole brain radiotherapy in patients with NSCLC and brain metastases
1960 www.thelancet.com Vol 388 October 22, 2016 Radiation oncologists are often challenged because of the paucity of randomised trials supporting their clinical practice. In terms of brain metastases treatment, it should be emphasised that there have been fi ve randomised trials assessing whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT): four studies assessing stereotactic radio therapy with or without WBRT for...
متن کاملNeurocognitive function impairment after whole brain radiotherapy for brain metastases: actual assessment
Whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT) is an effective treatment in brain metastases and, when combined with local treatments such as surgery and stereotactic radiosurgery, gives the best brain control. Nonetheless, WBRT is often omitted after local treatment due to its potential late neurocognitive effects. Publications on radiation-induced neurotoxicity have used different assessment methods, t...
متن کاملHippocampal-avoidance whole-brain radiation therapy: a new standard for patients with brain metastases?
The use of whole-brain radiation therapy (WBRT) for brain metastases was first described in the 1950s. Since that time, WBRT has long been considered the treatment of choice, given its wide availability, ease of delivery, and effectiveness in providing palliation for many patients. Numerous phase III trials have also validated its benefit in improving neurologic signs and symptoms for many pati...
