Background Whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) has been the treatment of choice for patients
with brain metastases. However, change/decline of neurocognitive functions (NCFs) …

Background and purpose Radiation-induced damage to the hippocampi can cause
cognitive decline. International recommendations for nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) …

Background Gray matter (GM) damage after radiotherapy (RT) in nasopharyngeal
carcinoma (NPC) patients can result in cognitive impairment, while there may be no visible …

Radiotherapy is one of the mainstay treatment modalities for the management of non-
metastatic head and neck cancer (HNC). Notable improvements in treatment outcomes have …

Background The high susceptibility of the hippocampus region to radiation injury is likely the
causal factor of neurocognitive dysfunctions after exposure to ionizing radiation. Repetitive …

Purpose This study aimed to improve the accuracy of the hippocampus segmentation
through multitask edge‐aware learning. Method We developed a multitask framework for …

Introduction Neurocognitive impairment from inadvertent brain irradiation is common
following intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) …

This work emphasizes the value of assessing hippocampal function by making a timely MRI-
based prognosis following a minor dose of hippocampal irradiation after nasopharyngeal …

This study is to analyze the radiation dose of head, body and tail of hippocampus (HC) of
nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients treated with intensity modulated radiotherapy …

Purpose To compare the hippocampus (HPC) dose reduced by HPC-sparing intensity
modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) plans between nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) …
