The Role of Advanced Imaging in Assessing Response to Definitive Chemoradiation Prior to Prophylactic Cranial Irradiation in Limited-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer

We examined the responses to chemoradiation according to imaging modality in limited-stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Provided patients achieved at least a partial response, advanced imaging response neither impacted survival nor added information to the decision to offer prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI), suggesting that limited-stage SCLC patients with partial response on any imaging modality should not be denied PCI.
