This paper gives an overview of recent developments in non-coplanar intensity modulated
radiotherapy (IMRT) and volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT). Modern linear …

When radiotherapy is used in the treatment of head and neck cancers, the brain commonly
receives incidental doses of radiotherapy with potential for neurocognitive changes and …

Purpose/objectives To determine neurocognitive and neurobehavioral impairment in long-
term nasopharyngeal cancer survivors (NPC) treated with intensity-modulated radiotherapy …

Importance Neurocognitive deficits (NCD) have been observed in noncentral nervous
system cancers, yet short-and long-term neurocognitive data on patients treated for head …

Opinion statement Central nervous system (CNS) radiotoxicity remains a challenge in neuro-
oncology. Dose distribution advantages of protons over photons have prompted increased …

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 …

The successful development of countermeasures for radiation-induced damage to normal
tissue could potentially benefit a broad range of populations and conditions. At one end of …

Background and purpose Incidental irradiation of normal brain tissue during radiotherapy is
linked to cognitive decline, and may be mediated by damage to healthy cortex. Non …

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to determine the best normal tissue objective
(NTO) values based on the dose distribution from brain tumor radiation therapy. Material and …

Materials and Methods: A systematic review of published literature was performed on
PubMed and the Cochrane Library. Only prospective clinical trials reporting NCF outcome in …
