Brain metastases palliative EBRT hippocampal avoidance whole brain (eviQ ID 3882)
eviQ, Cancer Institute NSW
DoseLab summary
Endorsed eviQ protocol for hippocampal-avoidance whole-brain radiotherapy (HA-WBRT) of brain metastases, 30 Gy in 10 fractions with IMRT or VMAT. Its organ table gives the hippocampal limits from RTOG 0933 and a lens goal; DoseLab's hippocampal avoidance table quotes the NRG CC001 protocol directly and uses eviQ for the lens.
Why this is useful
A current clinical protocol for HA-WBRT: indications, simulation, target volumes and a short organ table (hippocampi, lens, brainstem, optic structures).
