WITHDRAWN: Cranial irradiation for preventing brain metastases of small cell lung cancer in patients in complete remission.

CONCLUSIONS: Prophylactic cranial irradiation significantly improves survival and disease-free survival for patients with small cell lung cancer in complete remission. Further clinical trials are needed to confirm the potential greater benefit on brain metastasis rate suggested when cranial irradiation is given earlier or at higher doses.
