Neurocognitive Outcomes After Whole Brain Radiation Therapy for Hematologic Malignancies

Description

This study assesses neurocognitive outcomes after receiving radiation therapy to the brain (whole brain radiation therapy) in patients with blood cancers (hematologic malignancies). This may help researchers learn more about the effects of whole brain radiation therapy on memory and thinking in patients with blood cancer.

Conditions

Central Nervous System Lymphoma, Hematopoietic and Lymphoid Cell Neoplasm, Leukemia, Lymphoma, Plasma Cell Myeloma, Secondary Central Nervous System Lymphoma
