Although radiotherapy (XRT) is a necessary course of treatment to prolong life expectancy in
patients with many types of brain neoplasms, it has damaging effects that are little …

Objective: The neurocognitive sequelae of therapeutic cranial irradiation are not well
characterized in adults with primary brain tumors. To address this problem, we prospectively …

Objective: To investigate longitudinal cognitive functioning in patients with brain tumor
treated with modern highly conformal fractionated partial brain radiation therapy (RT) …

Radiotherapy (RT) is a proven curative and palliative therapeutic tool in the treatment of a
wide variety of primary and metastatic brain tumors in adults. Recent advances in …

Advances in treatments for brain tumors have seen a significant increase in survival rates
over the past few decades. This increase has been particularly dramatic in the pediatric …

BACKGROUND The objective of the current study was to evaluate the short‐term effects of
radiotherapy on attention and memory performance in patients with brain tumors. METHODS …

PURPOSE To identify the longitudinal neurobehavioral characteristics of the early-delayed
and late-delayed effects of partial-brain radiotherapy for patients with supratentorial brain …

Background: The extent of radiation therapy (RT)-induced changes in cognitive function is
unknown. RT with protons instead of photons spares the healthy brain tissue more and is …

Background: Assumptions about the damaging effects of radiotherapy (XRT) are based on
studies in which total dose, dose fraction, treatment volume, degree of malignancy …

Investigations of the effects of radiation on neuropsychological functions have revealed
variable outcomes, ranging from no effect to severe cognitive impairment. However, many of …
