      Background and Purpose: With improved life expectancy, preventing neurocognitive decline after cerebral radiotherapy is gaining more importance. Hippocampal damage has been considered the main culprit for cognitive deficits following conventional whole-brain radiation therapy (WBRT). Here, we aimed to determine to which extent hippocampus-avoidance WBRT (HA-WBRT) can prevent hippocampal atrophy ...

      <i>Background</i> - The current study was aimed at investigating the feasibility of hippocampus‐avoidance whole‐brain radiation therapy with a simultaneous integrated boost (HA‐WBRT+SIB) for metastases and at assessing tumor control in comparison with conventional whole‐brain radiation therapy (WBRT) in patients with multiple brain metastases.<p> <p><i>Methods</i> - Between August 2012 and December ...
