Additional radiation boost to whole brain radiation therapy may improve the survival of patients with brain metastases in small cell lung cancer
BACKGROUND: The role of the dose escalation strategy in brain radiotherapy for small cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients with brain metastases (BMs) has not been identified. This study aims to determine whether an additional radiation boost to whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT) has beneficial effects...
