Radiation therapy (RT) is a critical treatment modality for both primary and metastatic brain tumors, yet ∼30% of patients experience cognitive decline post-RT. This cognitive toxicity is linked to low radiation doses affecting the hippocampal dentate gyrus. Hippocampal avoidance-whole brain RT co...
Stereotactic Radiation Therapy / Stereotactic Radiosurgery A non-invasive treatment that delivers tightly focused radiation beams from multiple directions to converge at the tumour site, primarily small targets within the brain and spine, exposing surrounding healthy tissue to much smaller doses of radiatio...

Radiation therapy What it is: High-energy X-rays are directed at the tumour to slow the growth of cancer cells or reduce the effects of the cancer. How it helps: Can provide relief from pain, discomfort, bleeding, obstruction from the tumour, and spinal co...
Radiation Therapy or Radiotherapy is the delivery of high intensity X-rays, generally used in the treatment of cancers and brain disorders. There are many ways to have radiation therapy, but they all work in a similar way. Carefully controlled high-energy X-rays kill or damage cancer cells. ...
Whole brain radiation therapy with or without stereotactic radiosurgery boost for patients with one to three brain metastases: phase Ⅲ resuIts of the RTOG... BACKGROUND: Brain metastases occur in up to 40% of all patients with systemic cancer. We aimed to assess whether stereotactic radiosurgery...
Radiation-Induced Brain Tumours: Potential Late Complications of Radiation Therapy for Brain Tumours The development of neoplasms subsequent to therapeutic cranial irradiation is a rare but serious and potentially fatal complication. In this study, we retr... S Nishio,T Morioka,T Inamura,... - 《...
Abstract Radiation necrosis of the brain is a well documented adverse effect of radiation therapy. The authors report an unusual case of relapsing multifocal radiation necrosis following whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT) for brain metastases from a systemic germ cell tumor. Anticoagulation with warfar...
