Neurocognition and mean radiotherapy dose to vulnerable brain structures: new organs at risk?

Neurocognition and mean radiotherapy dose to vulnerable brain structures: new organs at risk?

Abstract Background Children with brain tumors are at high risk of neurocognitive decline after radiotherapy (RT). However, there is a lack of studies on how RT doses to organs at risk (OARs) impacts neurocognition. The aim of this study was to examine dose-risk relationships for mean RT dose to dif...
