Abstract:
Brain metastasis has become a major failure pattern with the prolonged survival of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) has been proven to play a significant role in small cell lung cancer, whereas its value in NSCLC is still controversial. Therefore, this article reviewed the role of PCI in NSCLC, high-risk factors of brain metastasis, timing, dose fraction and toxicity of PCI, etc.
