Neurocognition and mean radiotherapy dose to vulnerable brain structures: new organs at risk?
Children with brain tumors are at high risk of neurocognitive decline after radiotherapy (RT). However, there is a lack of studies on how RT doses to organs at risk (OARs) impacts neurocognition. The aim of th... (Source: Radiation Oncology)
