Stereotactic radiosurgery optimization with hippocampal-sparing in patients treated for brain metastases
Background and purpose: Cranial irradiation is associated with significant neurocognitive sequelae, secondary to radiation-induced damage to hippocampal cells. It has been shown that hippocampal-sparing (HS) leads to modest benefit in neurocognitive function in patients with brain metastases, but fu...
