Abstract

Radiation therapy (RT) has an important role in both limited stage and extensive stage (M1) small cell lung cancer (SCLC), although more recent randomized trial results have led to increasing discussion and opposing views regarding the indications and type and degree of benefit conferred. This is one such debate, in which I am arguing in favor of recommending Prophylactic Cranial Irradiation (PCI) in extensive stage (ES) SCLC. There is no disagreement about the prevalence of brain metastases (BM) in SCLC.
