Prophylac-
tic cranial irradiation in lung cancer.
Prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) reduces the
incidence of brain metastasis in patients with small-
cell lung cancer. Whether this treatment, when given
to patients in complete remission, improves survival
is not known. PCI improves both overall survival
and disease-free survival among patients with small-
cell lung cancer in complete remission. PCI in stage
III non small-cell lung cancer significantly decreases
the risk of brain metastasis without improving 1-year
overall survival.
