Hippocampal protection during preventive cranial irradiation and neurocognitive functions in patients with small cell lung cancer
Following PCI, SCLC patients experience significant cognitive decline, even when the radiation dose in the hippocampal area is reduced. This trend continues for at least 3 months following the PCI. In hippocampal-protected patients significant cognitive decline assessed on the MoCA scale is less common than in non-hippocampal-protected patients.
