CNS tumors that are very radiosensitive include: 1. lymphoma – they “melt away” with XRT but tend to recur later 2. germ cell tumors 3. metastatic small cell lung cancer See the appropriate section for specific indications and doses For side effects, see [[Radiation injury]] and [[necrosis]] cranial_radiation.txt Last modified: 2024/06/07 02:59by 127.0.0.1
