Prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) is commonly offered to patients with limited stage primary small cell lung cancer following a complete response.
We present the unique case of a 76-year-old woman treated with PCI with a dose of 30 Gy in 15 fractions, at 200 cGy per fraction who developed progressive dementia.
This is the first reported case of dementia from PCI at this low dose per fraction. Patients need to be counseled regarding the risks and benefits of treatment, including dementia with treatment and risk of sequelae from CNS metastasis without treatment. The authors review the data supporting PCI and the incidence of radiation associated dementia.
对于局限期原发性小细胞肺癌患者,在完全缓解后通常会给予预防性颅脑照射(PCI)。
我们报告了一例独特的病例,一名76岁女性接受了PCI治疗,剂量为30 Gy,分15次,每次200 cGy,之后出现了进行性痴呆。
这是首例关于如此低分次剂量PCI导致痴呆的报道病例。需要就治疗的风险和益处向患者提供咨询,包括治疗导致的痴呆以及不治疗发生中枢神经系统转移后遗症的风险。作者回顾了支持PCI的数据以及放射性痴呆的发生率。
