Hippocampus-Avoidance Whole-Brain Radiation Therapy With Simultaneous Integrated Boost for BMs of NSCLC

Sponsor: Yatian Liu

Summary

WBRT (whole-brain radiation therapy) exhibits poor tumor control and decreased NCF (neurocognitive function). Herein, we investigated the safety and efficacy of HA-WBRT+SIB (hippocampus-avoidance whole-brain radiation therapy with simultaneous integrated boost) in NSCLC (non-small cell lung cancer) with multiple brain metastases.We conducted a prospective, single-arm phase II trial administering HA-WBRT (30 Gy in 12 fractions, Dmax of the hippocampal volume ≤ 17 Gy, Dmean of the hippocampal volume ≤12 Gy) +SIB (48 Gy in 12 fractions) for multiple brain metastases (≥4) of NSCLC. Cognitive performance was assessed by the HVLT-R DR (Hopkins Verbal LearningTest-Revised delayed Recall).A-WBRT+SIB emerges as a promising and safe therapeutic, improving intracranial tumor control and protecting cognitive function in NSCLC with multiple brain metastases.
