Andrea B. Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 I am curious if anyone has heard of the practice of doing radiation to the brain as a preventive measure (when no brain mets are present)? Thanks for any information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam'swifeShirley Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 This is standard practice for Limited Stage SCLC patients who get a complete remission, PCI or prophylactic cranial irradiation it's called. It's being looked at in NSCLC but is at this point far from standard practice. I had it, as did a lot of others on the board. Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
