Current dilemma and future directions over prophylactic cranial irradiation in SCLC: a systematic review in MRI and immunotherapy era

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is the most malignant pathological type of lung cancer with the highest mortality, and the incidence of brain metastasis (BM) is in high frequency. So far, prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) has been suggested as an effective treatment for preventing brain metastasi...
