Effect of Prophylactic Cranial Irradiation on Overall Survival in Metastatic Small-Cell Lung Cancer: A Propensity Score-Matched Analysis
Abstract
Patients with small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) have a high incidence of occult brain metastases and are often treated with prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI). Despite a small survival advantage in some studies, the role of PCI in extensive stage SCLC remains controversial. We used the National Cancer Database to assess survival of patients with metastatic SCLC treated with PCI.Metastatic SCLC patients without brain metastases were identified....
