Feasibility of hippocampal avoidance whole brain radiation in patients with hippocampal involvement: Data from a prospective study

Among patients with brain metastases, hippocampal avoidance whole brain radiation (HA-WBRT) preserves neurocognitive function relative to conventional WBRT but the feasibility of hippocampal sparing in patients with metastases in/near the hippocampus is unknown. We identified the incidence of hippocampal/perihippocampal metastases and evaluated the feasibility of HA-WBRT in such patients.
