Study Summary

The Investigators are looking to compare standard treatment for the management of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) which is prophylactic cranial Irradiation (PCI) (shown to be very good in patient survival) with cranial sparing PCI. Although standard of care PCI is successful in patient survival it also has neurologic side-effects. The Investigators are hoping the cranial sparing PCI has the same positive survival results with the added benefit of lowering neurological side-effects.

Primary Outcome

The primary endpoint of this study is cognitive function or memory. Memory is measured by participant performance on the Hopkins Verbal Learning Test-Revised for delayed recall (HVLT-R-Delayed Recall) at 6 months following hippocampal-sparing PCI. The HVLT-Delayed minimum and Maximum scores are 0-12. A higher score means a better outcome.
