Comparison of whole brain radiation therapy for synchronous brain metastases with irradiation protecting the hippocampus versus whole brain radiotherapy for sequential brain metastases to boost irradiation in the treatment of brain metastases from SCLC: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
This study is in regard to the comparison of whole brain radiation therapy for synchronous brain metastases with irradiation protecting the hippocampus versus whole brain radiotherapy for sequential brain metastases to boost irradiation in the treatment of brain metastases from small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Therapeutically, they have notably varying dose distributions. Based on theoretical and model studies, it has long been speculated that these modes may result in different prognostic outcomes. We aim to assess the efficacy of tomotherapy in the treatment of SCLC brain metastases while protecting the key functional area...
