The effect of prophylactic cranial irradiation on brain 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake in small cell lung cancer in the metabolic imaging era

Introduction: Prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) increases survival in patients with small-cell lung cancer. Although the underlying pathophysiology is not fully understood, it has been associated with posttreatment neurocognitive impairment. Our study aims to show the brain's glucose metab...
