Radiotherapy is a component of the treatment regimen for the majority of patients with low-grade gliomas. Therefore, the effect of radiotherapy on the long-term cognitive performance of these patients is a major concern. This article reviews the neurocognitive effects of radiotherapy on patients with low-grade gliomas. The weight of evidence suggests only sporadic, limited neurocognitive damage from focal radiotherapy at the doses usually prescribed for low-grade gliomas.
放射治疗是大多数低级别胶质瘤患者治疗方案的一个组成部分。因此,放射治疗对这些患者长期认知功能的影响是一个主要关注点。本文综述了放射治疗对低级别胶质瘤患者的神经认知影响。现有证据表明,在通常为低级别胶质瘤规定的剂量下,局部放射治疗只会造成偶发性、有限的神经认知损害。
