Rates of Overall Survival and Intracranial Control in the Magnetic Resonance Imaging Era for Patients with Limited-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer With and Without Prophylactic Cranial Irradiation
JAMA 3:201929, Pezzi, T.A.,et al, 2020
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
These findings suggest that patients with LS-SCLC staged with MRI who undergo PCI after thoracic radiation treatment were not associated with a decreased risk of developing new brain metastases compared with patients who do not undergo PCI. The use of PCI was not associated with an overall survival benefit for such patients.
